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.

This vibrant red shoe is a collaboration between JB Classics and Ride Snowboards. This model features lots of unique details that make it special.

The side panels have a nice quilting and the rear quarter has arrows pointing up and toward the front of the shoes. They also have dark red midsole speckled in lighter red.

The Fall and Winter Collection from Alife is beginning to hit retailers. This version of the Alife Shell Toe comes in red and grey suede. These shoes feature a white leather Alife patch on the tongue and heels, along with white laces and midsoles.

I like the red version a lot. Though it’s bold – it’s not too overpowering. Each pair of shoes comes with three sets of laces. You can order these now right now at Haven for $110. Via Hypebeast.

Being released tomorrow, these Jordan PHLYs are sure to turn a couple heads. The unique design alone is enough to gain attention but Jordan utilized a bright color scheme to draw even more attention to this upcoming release

The varsity red and white color scheme draws back memories of Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls. Overall, the kicks are quite clean – with the varsity red broken up only by the white laces, the white logos and a few other areas of white. In addition to looking smooth, Jordan PHLY are famous for being comfortable on your feet.

Mark your calendar and pick these up when they hit stores! The Varsity Red Jordan PHYL will be releasing March 31st, 2008. Via Hangtime.
