Kanye West Debuts his Sneaker for Vuitton

We've been reading about Mr. West's collaboration with Vuitton but yesterday's Fall Winter Menswear show was the stage in which he presented his beLVoed design. Designing five styles for LV, the quilted back sneaker was the first to be seen on the runway. “I was inspired by the movie Dune. The collection had all these jackets that were very padded. They looked like maybe they had hockey pads in the jacket, and there was one where the collar came up really high. I took that element, and I put that on the back of the shoe. It’s like the opposite of the tongue. Usually you have the tongue at the front. [This is] like a tongue at the back,”, West says. Source: People
