Kanye West X LV - "Louis Vuitton Dons" sneaker



Last evening Nice Kicks posted a solid red color way of the new Louis Vuitton Dons designed by the self proclaimed Louis Vuitton Don himself, Kanye West. The shoes were featured in a fashion show on the feet of the runway models, but Mr. West took a quick pick with all four colorways of the upcoming sneaker. Besides the solid red, the Louis Vuitton Dons were made in all white, beige with a black sole, and solid black.

Though the uppers of the shoes are monochromatic, a mixture of materials are anything but monotonous. Kanye opted for a mixture of rich leather, suede, and patent leather on the upper of the Louis Vuitton Dons. No release information or pricing has been made available at this point, but from checking eLuxury, prices for comparable sneakers start in the $600 range. I would assume these would be higher.
