• Louis Vuitton Don’s from Franalations

Sneaker connoisseur Franalations is known for his impressive sneaker collection and the reviews that he conducts on YouTube of his purchases. He’s created a very impressive internet following and if you’re not familiar with the name, I suggest you do a search on him because his collection is something serious. His latest video review is on the collaboration sneaker between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton, red size 9 Don’s, to be exact. Not only does the video reveal the sneaker’s high-quality construction, but also its great packaging. Each sneaker comes with its own canvas bag, 2 booklets (1 explaining the quality of the sneaker and 1 explaining the collaboration between Kanye and LV), and a little box that houses an extra pair of red laces. With Louis Vuitton, you get nothing short of perfection. Personally, I don’t think I’d spend $800+ on a pair of sneakers, LV or not, but Franalations does an effective job justifying the price and showing the sneaker’s top-quality.

• Nike Air Yeezy Solution #808

The Nike Air Yeezy Solution #808 viral video showcases the sneaker’s ability to be more than simply  a fashion accessory, but a home essential. Lil Jimmy uses it to combat his fear of the dark by using it as a nightlight. It’s a pretty funny video and its purpose seems to promote the Air Yeezy Sightings upload section on Kanye West’s website/blog, Kanye Universe City.

• 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.

• Kanye in the Ego Music Video

When it comes to music videos and presentation, Kanye West is always on point. Whether it be the storyline, effects, or his outfit in the video, he never seizes to amaze viewers. The music video for Beyonce’s current single “Ego” features Kanye in a suit that complements the entire black/white theme of the video, while wearing a pair of the Mr. Hudson shoes that he designed with Louis Vuitton. Kanye’s also wearing the black flat-top Super sunglasses by RETROSUPERFUTURE, which has been his prime choice for sunglasses several months now. Overall, it’s a nice, clean outfit that could be worn at work or even in the club. Here are screen shots from the video:
