Nike Air Yeezy Zen Grey-Light Charcoal

March 14th, 2009 by Omer Stored in: Nike

These mighty samples of strength and ingenuity are a joint project between Kanye West and Nike. It appears that the famous rapper provided the spirit and vision behind this item of power which Nike’s designers carried to perfection through their well-known devotion to their art. The steely-gray colorways, the powerful straps depict the owner of this Nike as someone not to be taken lightly, while the orange edges of the stitchings seem to suggest that behind the cool and calm design, there lies a fiery commitment to excellence and innovation for those who are brave enough to explore it.

 

Air Yeezy is not an ordinary item of footwear, it’s an item of prestige and power. But owning such an item is not enough to be the master of it. To master the Yeezy, you must be the spirit of freedom, innovation, and courage. There lies the spirit of rap, and Nike. Don’t take the combination lightly.

Kanye West for Louis Vuitton Sneaker

January 22nd, 2009 by KoriEllis Stored in: Other

Here’s an official image of one of the shoes featured in the Kanye West and Louis Vuitton collaboration. With simple styling and a bold red color, these sneakers feature a special quilted flap on the back heel for your jeans.

Here’s more info from the press release:

PARIS — Marc Jacobs and the Louis Vuitton men’s studio director Paul Helbers have some design competition this season. Kanye West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. Only one design, above, was featured in the show — a monochromatic midtop with no frills, save for a quilted flap in the back, all the easier to tuck pants into.

“The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune,’ ” West says. “Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.” West knows whereof he speaks: he says he has no idea how many shoes he owns, but he does know that he routinely needs to send shipments off to storage.

The Louis Vuiltton-Kanye West shoes will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June 2009.

If you are into luxury shoes, you can’t beat this Louis Vuitton boat sneaker designed by Kanye West. Kanye kept it simple and went with an all white color scheme. Although the official price hasn’t been released, these kicks will likely cost more than $400.

Obviously, the quality of the materials of this sneaker is top notch. Although it much of a show stopper at a quick glance, once you get a closer look you can see the great quality. These shoes are on of the 6 overall designs that Kanye West did for Louis Vuitton. Via High Snobiety
