I know some of ya'll must've listened to the new Jay-Z album, American Gangster. Theres a song on there where he talks about the Louis Vuittons w/ the red bottoms on 'em. Those things are bad-ass, they're like brown leather & got the scarlet red bottoms on 'em & a L & a V on the left & right sides. I think they're called LV Rennes, not too sure, but I looked them up & I can't find them anywhere on the internet at all. Not really interested in buying them seeing as how they are somewhere around 900 + dollars but I'de really just like to check 'em out. They must be really new & exclusive or something because I've looked all over the net & only found 1 picture, but I know someones heard of these, knows more than me. Someone help me out, give me a site, tell me where I can find pictures or whatever. Appreciate it.

Your link didn't work man.. But man, this is actually how I found out about 'em though. This dude on MTV Cribs the other day, some football player from ATL, went into his closet showin' his stuff off you know & pulled out those tan leather LV's w/ the red bottoms & started hollerin' @ Jay-Z sayin' thats what he was talkin' about on the new album you know? I know they got the Christian Louboutins for women, but I think Christian Louboutin did some exclusive stuff for Louis Vuitton though. Cuz I know they got those shoes for men & they're pretty bad in my opinion.

Jay's talking to the ladies. Its Louboutins heels with the red botton. Louboutins is a high end ladies shoes company.

Google Louboutins and you will know what he is talking about.

those liner notes are wrong all the time with lyrics and I think, dont know, but think this is one of those times. Jay-z is not some hood with no money so Im guessin he knows how to pronounce Louboutins, and it should sound nothin like "lou vuittons". I think he is talking about the sneakers that Josh Howard, forward for the Dallas Mavericks, showed in his closet. And people dont refer to heels as bottoms, not trying to start nothing just referencing regular day to day talk.

Banofss, I think you are right but just clearing things up Louboutins heels are famous for their red bottom. That is Louboutins trade mark. Not trying to start anything.

I doubt he is talking about Louis Vuitton if you would of listened to the rest of the song you could see that cause the song is for the ladies. And thats pretty funny that Josh Howard thought that was what he was talking about thats prolly why he got em LOL

"I am so DOPE
Like Louboutins with the red bottoms
You gotta have 'em, you glad you got 'em
Like every color Giuseppe's, your guilty pleasure is me
Its so much fun, you shun therapy
Although it never be, the feeling is fleeting
Shopping's like coppin', you constantly need it
I'm never around, you constantly seek it
You'll never be down, i know where your peak is
9 1/2 weeks is better than 12-steps
I keep tryin' to remind you to keep tellin' yourself
Now your conscience is interfering, like "Better yourself!"
Like you better get help
But when that medicine's felt?
We're back together
Don't ever leave me
Don't ever let 'em tell you that you'll never need me
My China White, 'til we D.O.A.
Its Montego forever, baby, lets get away...."

Nah they don't look like shoes a postal worker would wear... for six hundred & seventy five dollars they look like shoes a money-makin' baller would wear, whether you like 'em or not your gotta respect whoevers wearin' because whoever it may be they most likely got twice as much money as you & your momma combined... not sayin' I'de buy 'em myself but they are definately bad-ass lookin'... so don't hate if you cuz you can't afford brethren... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Get money.. You broke... & to everyone talkin' about the womens shoes, Christian Louboutins.. That may be what Jay-Z's talkin' about, actually it probably is.. but that wasn't my point. Check out the Louis Vuitton Rennes, brown & red. Those are what I mean. Old dude talkin' about the calling 'em heels instead of bottoms, my bad man, I aint takin' it personally, but I'm kinda new to the whole sneaker thing & this site, so excuse my incorrect lingo. For those who don't like 'em when you see 'em.. thats cool but don't hate, just respect the fressssh. Keep it real.

They look like postal worker shoes. They are ugly as shit, no matter how much they cost... I could definitely afford them if I wanted them, but I don't want $600 sneakers right now as a student. When I'm looking to purchase expensive (over $300) sneakers I'll buy something like Lanvin.

Fellas, I unlike some of the people on this site am a big enough man to admit when I am wrong. And in this case I am wrong. He is referencing louboutins, and I was aware of the red heels but these shoes in fact do have a red bottom. Next time I will keep my comments to myself, I know better, I dont know nothing about women's shoes. Now Josh Howard is the one who should be ashamed, he is a millionaire and he just went on national tv and made a totally incorrect statement.

They are in the new issue of Vibe - page 120. I have to agree Josh Howard should feel like a fool.

On another note, did anyone read the March issue of Vibe? They do an interview with 50 and DeNiro and 50 answers every question. It pisses me off as I would much rather hear DeNiro's answers.

Ask for Ingrid over at the SF LV store...Best customer service. She will know, but from my knowledge they go by regular waist sizes.

Have a pair of LV loafers with the big LV buckle in the front - Best driving shoes ever.

Not too fond of their "sneakers" though - They're too heavy for my taste.
