• Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Release Date

The collaboration sneakers between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton will be released at worldwide Louis Vuitton retail stores TODAY, WEDNESDAY, July 1st. Unlike the Nike Air Yeezy release, all 3 styles, the Dons, Jasper’s, and Mr. Hudson, will be released at the same time. The least expensive price is $840 for the Mr. Hudson boat-style sneaker and the most expensive is $1,140 for the Jasper’s with the pink sole. Surely, it is pricey, but what did you honestly expect from a French luxury brand that sells handkerchiefs for several hundred dollars?

• La MJC For Kanye West and Louis Vuitton

The crew over at La MJC was fortunate enough to receive the entire collection of the collaboration sneaker between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton weeks before its release. They teamed up with photographer Amaury Choay to create a lifestyle photoshoot with the sneakers and are the first individuals other than Kanye, of course, to actually be seen wearing the sneakers. The creative direction, presentation, and just the entire photoshoot, really, does a wonderful job revealing the great aesthetic of the sneaker; props to La MJC and Amaury.

• Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Photshoot Video

We showed you unofficial product shots that Highsnobiety and Daniela Muller-Brunke did for the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton collaboration sneakers, and now, here is the video from the photoshoot. I especially like how the video reveals attributes of the sneaker that had never been exposed before in other product shots, like the special insole that reads, “Louis Vuitton and Kanye West.” It’s a great viral video that truly reveals the intricacy and attention to detail of the sneaker.

• Louis Vuitton Sneaker Product Shots

Highsnobiety recently teamed up with German photographer Daniela Muller-Brunke to take high-quality product shots of the collaboration sneaker between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton. The colorways and unique silhouettes of the sneaker speak for itself, but the artistic direction from Highsnobiety and Daniela really complement the overall sneaker. Notice the enlarged LV symbols with the fluorescent backdrop. Whether you are a Kanye fan, LV fanatic, or self-proclaimed sneakerhead, this collaboration sneaker takes art, sneakers, fashion, and the entire essence of “collaborations” to an entirely new level.
