Now I'm fully ready to eat my words if the rest of these shoes turn out to be great, but as of now I'm thoroughly disappointed with what I've seen of Kanye West's five design collaboration with Louis Vuitton. You couldn't pay me to put these things on. I regularly visit Kanye's blog, and I like a lot of the shit he puts up there but sometimes I think he may just be posting things because they're expensive, and I can't see any other reason somebody would be interested in this sneaker. I mean, take away the fact that it'll retail for more than $200, and you've got a payless shoe on your hands.
The most interesting part about the above design is the fact that somebody went ahead and found a way to ruin boat shoes. Don't get me wrong, I don't really fuck with boat shoes in the first place, but god damn you didn't have to throw that puffy shit on the back like that. It looks out of place.And before you jump to that classic "you're just hating on Kanye" bullshit, know that I'm not. I have nothing personal against him. I listen to his music, it's good as hell. But you gotta know when to stop supporting somebody just because you like him or his music, and let him know that what he's doing is ugly... as though he'll ever read this.
Thanks Hypebeast and Mr. West
