Kanye's LV Sneaks Will Cost You a Grand
Filed under: Accessories, CELEBRITY STYLE, Fashion, Celebrity
For those who've been eagerly awaiting details on the top secret sneakers that the Kanye West designed for Louis Vuitton, the wait is over. Photos and pricing info has been uncovered by the sneakerphiles at Nice Kicks, and apparently the numbers have all been confirmed. Not that this comes as a surprise, but if you want a pair of these Kanye-designed shoes, you're going to have to cough up nearly $1,000.The lineup will start at $840 for the white leather loafers that debuted in Paris -- the Hudson's. That's the low end. The more sporty -- and appropriately named -- Louis Vuitton Don's will give you a little more support and a more casual look with a less casual price, around $870 to $960. Lastly, the Jasper's are basically a hi-top version of the Don's, and if you have the cash flow and an addiction to pink rubber soles, you could be paying up to $1140.
While we like the shoes, we think maybe Kanye's fabulous 80s hair has gone to his brain. The only shoes that we could imagine paying for -- if we were ridiculously wealthy and not in the middle of a major financial crisis -- are the loafers, which are kinda unique yet classy. Maybe Kanye should have teamed up with a brand like Lacoste to launch a sneaker line, then they'd only cost, like, $400.

Ugh. Kanye needs to go away already. The fact that he's releasing a line of $1000 SNEAKERS during a recession just goes to show how clueless and out of touch he is.
Buh-Bye!

I don't know about those $1,000 shoes, but I think he looks pretty cool as a cartoon:
