By now, most of you have seen the line-up of sneakers created by Kanye West for Louis Vuitton. Opinions vary on the outcome of the collection. The line has been compared to what Louis Vuitton has done in the past with sneakers, and the Kanye West collection beats those efforts by leaps and bounds. Just like in the regular sneaker game, some people like it more colorful, others like it more subtle, and this line-up offers something for both tastes. The HIGHSNOBIETY guys prefer the tonal high tops. They also had the chance to field test them and say that quality and fabrication are very much on point, as to be expected from Louis Vuitton.
Having worked recently with Nike on the Air Yeezy, the LV collection is the second major sneaker project by Kanye West. Take a step back and think about what is happening here - you see collaborations all the time with boutiques, brands, artists and other creative fields. How many times can the colors and the materials on the same shoe silhouette be changed and still look new and different from the hundreds of releases we see every year? Kanye West got to design his very own silhouettes in both cases, probably the most impressive part about these projects.
With the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton sneakers releasing worldwide in the coming weeks, HIGHSNOBIETY wanted to do something out of the ordinary with the footwear Louis Vuitton gladly lent them for this special shoot. They teamed up with German photographer Daniela Muller-Brunke to shine some new light onto the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton collection. To give you some background on the shoot, They used the iconic LV symbols and projected them in different colors onto the background of the sneaker, with the outcome being a psychedelic mix of fading colors. Hopefully you like it.
