Word up!!! These are crazy fresh, i got crazy feelings for the red ones i saw, but at the same time I’m gonna keep it real i would love to have a pair in my possession but im pretty sure the price is going to be far and beyond my pockets, so i’ll continue to admire from the window and stick to my Jordan Retros, Forces, Dunks and Supras.
(Imitating Andre 3000) “I’m….just being honest!!”
the prices run from $840 to $1140, but of course all the hot ones are a G or better
All you people that are talking about the price and why are they so expensive.ok for one they are LV and you know all LV stuff is pricey and two just becuase they are kanye west they are are going to go for a pretty pricetag.
Cheapest will be 800$
So Lame. This LV collaboration with Kanye will go down as Marc Jacob’s biggest Fail.
Marc Jacob’s paired collaborations with LV and artist were brilliant: LV x Sprouse = Legendary ; LV x Murakami = Sic is the word ; LV x Richard Prince = Wicked!!! Each of those limited edition Vuitton lines was instantly sold-out and items from those promotions are still highly coveted, not a matter of holding their value…all that gear increases in value.
These LV x Kanye kicks are old hat. Weak like Kanye’s beats. Seriously, who the hell thinks Kanye running his mouth through a vocoder is dope? I don’t know what it’s supposed to be. It’s not Hip-Hop. He’s not an MC. And it’s all just so bad….just like these silly kicks…they’re so bad, make my teeth hurt. Fo Realz ! You’ll see. Kanye won’t even sport his own kicks. I guaranty you will not see him wearing these.
Def, Cold- Fly… def must have…
i went into the LV store asking about these im telling you you better have a MINIMUM of $800 if you’re even thinking about snatching a pair of low tops… better start applying for personal loans if your looking for more than one pair if you ask me. its what im gonna do
Perfect for the club
Shit just another pair of extraodinary kicks to add to my moribund shoe collection..guess they will look good next to my lanvins..btw there 490 so save up guys lmFLYao
Shit just another pair of shoes I can wear out lol the black ones will look good next to my lanvins and wow to those who say “Those who say they gone cop don’t got the bread too, broke ass niggas” like cmon u kidding that shit is really hypebeast…..btw there gonna be 490 so save up guyz lmFLYao anyway I’m out
kanye like dem straps… the colourways are much better than yeezys
the high top brown pink grey colorway is very unique………..to me the other high tops are very plain but very nicely made..retail will be high but a def cop
if only they were affordable for us, ya know, the broke ass mofos, as g man would say.
these are garbage and over priced. they remind me of the Reebok Workout Mid Strap!!!
ill pass…
got to get them and the air yezzys
stunning i will definately b gettin the pink N grey ones those ar official
fresh,
dont know what you would rather get
air yeezys or the dons…
dons probably double to triple price of yeezys.
anyways,
it doesnt look comfortable. iunno y.
WEST KILLS HIP-HOP AND STREET WEAR IS NEXT….BEEP….BEEP….BEEP…..
these shoes are ill…really though these are sick …..i would cop them if i was rich or sum ;..but im iz not so…and al you nigz sayin you are going to cop em…stop dreamin..
im not a hater im a realist …ya dig..
not feelin em needs to keep it more simple take off a few tassels and straps and the ugly ass spoiler on the back maybe i’ll change my mind
I don’t like that back comforter piece, though I can understand why it would be nice, and I don’t like the Louis symbols on the side, other than that, its a straight kick.
1 The padded velcro straps are wack! it looks too 80’s
2 The bangles make it straight up village people
3 I’m glad they’re so expensive that way it will hopefully stop a bunch of Kanye dick riders from making a big mistake
Cheers!!!!
I would only cope the all black w/o velcro.
That Velcro just ruins the shoe.
I GUESS THATS WHAT SEPREATES ME AND THE FUCKING CONSUMERS
llllllllll
IS IT ME OR OH BOY JUST KILLED ALL YALL HOPES AND DREAMS AND COPPING A PAIR OF THESES JOINTS. THATS IS DEF THE COMMENT OF THE DAY. ILL NEVER BUY THESE. THEY’RE DAPPER OF COURSE BUT IF I EVER GET THE AMOUNT FOR THESE SHOES I WHETHER SPEND IT ON AN INVESTMENT TOWARDS MY OWN BRAND AND THATS REAL TALK.
HOLLABLACK
CHICAGO
two words: ANGEL DUST
these and those marc jacobs joints should go play find the quarter.
negro please
Sorry if sum1’s already said this, but I couldn’t read anymore of the insipid posts….
1) LV gear is only available @ LV stores, part of the reason its so sought after…Unless u like being raped by re-sellers
2)I know sum1 who works @ the LV store in Oak Brook,Illa, & he said these will run between $850-$1150 depending on style & colorway(sum more limited & diff materials)
3)If u have that $ to blow on a pair of shoes, good 4 you. But I’d bet 9 outta 10 people aren’t gonna think “wow $1000 for a pair of shoes!?! Ur so cool & ur cock must b HUGE!” Theyr gonna think “Wow ur a HUGE cock!”
4) & final…what I luv about this world is paying $80-150 for a pair of shoes that end up being worth $1000…but I’m sorry paying $800+ for any shoe(outside a few J’s) is retarded!
My fav louis r the all white lows! 2006..and yaw dumb for askin where can u get em and how much r they!!!!!! There louis vs baby!
the shoes look nice,but how many times can your reinvent the wheel. Let be real folks these are just some hype up kicks with a celeb and a logo slapped on them. over hyped old school pro ked or chucks. Plus cost is not an issue if!!!!! you got a JOB an got no bills to pay. $600-$1000 limited. Hahaha thi s word is so over used by everyboy these days limited this limited that wow!!!!
I can take my 600-1000 I rather take a trip to spring break and go hang with the fellas in Jamaica instead be real folks.
i love how so many people hate on kanye but everything he does on here gets the most comments
1. Passe’ styling, 8 seasons gone colorways (for the exception of the white colorway); as if Kanye was in the studio with Marc Jacobs saying, “give me heat rocks, give me the heat”, Marc says “Kanye, respectfully, I think the right move is to go clean, subtle, and minimalist”, – “naw duff that, splash em’ with hot pink and blow that heel out”.
2. The heal cushion is not fashionable or functional. If you rock your denim loose, it is going to look awkward with a bulge hanging out of the back. If you rock skinny jeans its going to be a funny sight with a spoiler hanging off the back of your kicks.
I bet they go for $1000 because he doesn’t want to cannibalize the value by making them accessible to any more than 1 of the people posting on this blog, and two, because his ego is atmospheric and he wants a 4-digit pricetag on his first major sneaker collabo.
Its either the Korean knock-offs or a pair of ProKeds with a stapled tassle from a pair of papa dukes loafers.
The DJI will be at 4500 before these come out. We’ll see how many people “cop”. p.s – Joon, you dishonor your Asian name – these kicks are LV flagship stores all the way babygirl; NY, LA, LON, PAR, TOK
They’re so ugly. Who would actually wear these ugly shoes. They’re not appealing at all. I could never see myself wearing those. If someone gave them to me I would just give them away to goodwill. They would probably just stay on the shelf.
“///////” Had the only legit comment on here. I can understand y’all wanna get yo swagg up, but not by fronting as faceless fools on the internet…I spend $600 dollars on Neighborhood/supreme collabo jeans and wear PRPS as reg. denim with limited Bathing Apes and three pairs of the retro 6 infrareds and carmines, both of which I only wear one pair of each. As for LV, I got the checkerboard luggage set with matching wallet. Gucci belt with the Dior Homme Cabana shades. Got the millionaires next to the cartier santos model at home. Panerai on the wrist these days livin phat …I have O.G. Bathing ape hoodies bought in Harajuku in 97 when Bape started which re-sell used for over a grand. But hey, I work for Goldman, drive a pagani zonda and wear brioni suits to work every day. Gz up get yo cheese up, the reason I’m broke is because I hate money, the rims that sittin on is in they late 20s, call me swagger dagger…chuuch.
SO LUN YING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah they’re hot no doubt, but my pockets aren’t too happy with em’.
These shits is Bad aSS I want the first pair.
Just like Kayne…over hyped and a disappointment in the end.
wait…. where do get these… @ Gucci…..
FIRE….Dont go to da SF store…cause im buyin all of dem…all da colors…& all sizes….
yeah, I thought they were Pumas too….louie is for bougie lops, why are they trying to appeal to ’streetwear kids’..and you can bet they will be waahayhay overpriced too, but it’s for people with more money than brains. so good luck.
Kids, if you’re actually thinking of “coppin’” these, start saving up all your 500$ paychecks now. This is Louis V. we’re talking about, not a new pair of AF1’s.
the highs all need to have the big thick strap up top. it makes the shoe. i am a big fan though.
Hey look, it’s the Reebok alien stomper!
so hurt, its like a collage shoe, and it was prolly manufactured for $2 a pair but will sell for 5 g’s
Fresh!!
the high-top black suede ones are crazy! gotta get em’!
a yo g-man, shut up
i honestly didnt think they could get much worse. with the brown and black they look almost worse than skate shoes youd buy in target
i know everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but i think thats the problem here. if these had ANY other logo (besides LV or Kanye’s name), i’m willing to bet that not one person would be on these. mindless sheep just follow other mindless sheep and nowadays, anything Ye touches, cats be drooling over. PATHETIC!!! these are ugly &/or plain but one thing these are not is dope!
he should have released these when he released Graduation and when he was on top of the world
looks like reebok produced theses. Looks just like the Reebok classic high top.. I “can” afford a pair , but no way in hell I’d cop them.
they look like supras!!!
Wow = Shoe
Wack = Price
luxe+ space opera= winner
theyre gonna be 7 bills plus tax.
looks to cheap,.. no history..
Can’t cope with the fact that you can’t cop
strange…lookin at these shoes gives me the urge to eat neopolitan ice cream, and hug teddy bears maybe its just me. Sweet! Where are those red though? 600 – 800 usd? Lol NICE. CLASSIC?
VERY similar to his air yeezy’s. What is up with the unnecessary straps? PASS
Boy, you fags sure hate on Kanye. Hop off his dick why don’t ya? If you don’t like te shoes, why waste 2-4 minutes of your life writing about how they disgust you? Is it because you don’t have one? Why? Why!
ILLY CANT WAIT !
HOW MUCH ARE THEY GOIN RUN IS THE QUESTION
All you people talking about price, price, price have no business looking at these kicks. Leave it to those who “budget” or “afford” is not in their vocabulary. The rest of you hating on the shoes themselves, lose your pride and admit you just can’t.
what. the. fuck.
Expensive Pro Keds
I can see myself rockin the beige’s, and I’m going to buy a pair no matter the cost..”
no your not keep dreaming.
These arent that bad but not worth the price tag. nasty colorways though.
they’re really nice. i’ll give em that. but the fact that they’re gonna be like over 500 dollars makes them completely unappealing.
good one i wish i could cop a pair but l l l l l l l right they will be about $500 to $600 be real people!!!!!!
Considering a normal pair of LV sneakers are like $400, you can expect these to be $600+ minimum.
I think it’s funny how all these fake ass kids on here are saying their going to “cop” a pair, you know your broke asses 1. have never stepped into a LV store before and 2. aren’t going to drop over half a grand on these pair of shoes.
Best comment goes to “al”:
“wow, these are def copped. im gonna cop all colors expect that browish one. the black suede one is str8 fire. damnnnn. 10000% cop”
I don’t know what’s worse the fact that he thinks he can actually cop all of them, or the fact that if he actually had the 3 grand he’d actually waste it on all the colorways, smh.
These are hideous and the neon colourway is very 2006
hmmm, seems there’s been a 180 degree turn on these. when they were first posted, the majority was hatin’. i’m questioning the validity of some of these comments…just sayin’.
What happened to the red joints? Them was the only ones I really had my eye on. If they over $600 though I’mma pass
biting off puma anyone?
Dope!
#1. Fugly.
#2. Trying to sell $1000, tasseled sneakers at a time when the financial markets and institutions are collapsing all around us is hilarious.
all white, kinda look like cream,
i want more info, where can i get em and how much??
these go hard…gotta cop a pair of these over the summer
I’m kinda feeling these colorways they aren’t typical.
But yet still no word on price? This line is really good..
I can see myself rockin the beige’s, and I’m going to buy a pair no matter the cost..
niceee. colors could be better.
Does anyone know what the MSRP on these joints is supposed to be? I’m guessing what $8-900? Same range as the Maison Martin Margiela Joints?
finally some legit images so we can actually tell what these kicks look like… and, i think they look pretty good. i will not be dropping the cash, but the white/pink sole colorway is makin me dream…
people are gonna to hate on kanye like always, but really, could you ask for a better hightop from Louis Vuitton? honestly, pretty sweet kicks from a company that makes snobby grandma purses.
The highs are very similar in styling to the Nike’s they are dropping except with an extra strap. Overall they are ok but with the high LV price points I dont think youll see to many peeps rocking them.
too much in the vain of the “Air Yeezey”
Yeah these are definatly fresh
Damn, those gray & pink Velcro’d up mids are tight
not bad deff rather fvck with these them the air yeezys
Krazyy Kanyeee…I want one!
I LOVE THEM !!KANYE THIS SHIT IS HOTT
Wow i relly need them they look so dope but i think they’re too expensive for me!!
Werd from a former fan… Kanye should take a break for a tad bit.
He’s becoming whack and non-creative. His try as retail is almost as bad as “808’s and Heartbreaks.”
The White one looks dope!
so he took the same OK shoe design and put different combinations of straps on them?
blah… get out of here kanye. youre going off the deep end
how much???
i heard about 500-700
why do i be on kanye’s cock
he making me wanna robocop
why can’t i ever stoooop
I like all of them except those low brown ones, those colors seem like they clash.
Any clues about the prices on those yet?
the off white mids aren’t too bad.
white one is copable
wow, these are def copped. im gonna cop all colors expect that browish one. the black suede one is str8 fire. damnnnn. 10000% cop
fresh to death, definitely copping
Damn, these are sweet. I prefer them over the low’s. Definitely copping a pair!
will definitely cop these soon
Where can you buy these?
Those black highs are nice….these really smoke the Yeezy!
Whoa! where has all this new stuff come from. I could have sworn that neon shoe didn’t have as much going on last time we saw it. It’s far too busy now…
WHOA!!! MOS DEFF
OMG the black ones at the bottom = SKILLED!
