Continuing with his stay in New York, Kanye was once again seen walking the streets of SoHo. Notable items to point out in Kanye’s outfit include a pair of  the Air Jordan Spizikes in the black/varsity red-cement grey-military blue colorway, and the Takashi Murakami x Louis Vuitton duffel bag from the “Monogramouflage” collection.

The Spizikes were released this past February and retailed for $175. The Murakami x Louis Vuitton duffel bag was released in June 2008 at the Brooklyn Museum Murakami Exhibition and select LV retail stores. The retail price was set at $1,930.

• Kanye West x Fendi Collaboration
4 Comments

As many of you may have noticed, Kanye West has been out of the media spotlight for quite sometime since the incident with Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs. Several weeks back, he was actually photographed with girlfriend Amber Rose exploring the streets of Rome where he’s apparently performing fashion research and meeting with designers for upcoming projects. Daniel Lindström, Fashion Director for Swedish-based magazine Cafe, did a brief interview with Kanye at an event for photographer Thomas Klementsson (below). In the interview, Kanye mentions a collaboration with Italian luxury brand Fendi and new colorways for his Louis Vuitton shoe.

• Gray Ibn Jasper x Quintin 5-Panel Cap
1 Comment

After Ibn Jasper wore the black “Ibn Jasper” x Quintin 5-panel cap collaboration on his birthday, he’s back at it with another preview of a gray colorway. Similar to its black counterpart, the gray 5-panel cap is constructed of suede and features a distinct quilted front that is identical to the lower strap featured on the collaboration shoes between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton, the Jasper’s. An added feature that further draws inspiration from the Kanye x LV shoe is the tassle that is above the 5-panel cap’s bill, which can be found on the Jasper’s, Hudson’s, and Don’s shoes. In terms of additional colorways and release dates, nothing has been officially announced.

• Ibn Jasper and Quintin Hats Collaboration
5 Comments

During Ibn Jasper’s birthday celebration this past weekend, he revealed his collaboration 5-panel fitted cap with Quintin, appropriately named after himself, “Ibn Jasper”. The Ibn Jasper appears to be constructed of a black suede and features a front that perfectly matches the lower strap of the black Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Jasper’s shoes. Not much else is known about the collaboration between Ibn Jasper and Quintin, but expect great quality and nothing less than perfection from a man like Ibn, who also happens to be Kanye’s barber and style consultant.

• Mr. Hudson Shows off the LV Mr. Hudson’s
6 Comments

Arguably the most underrated Kanye West and Louis Vuitton collaboration shoe, the Mr. Hudson’s definitely establish a completely different aesthetic from the Jasper’s and Don’s. It has the silhouette of a boat shoe and loafer, while its construction and attention to detail fully represents the luxury appeal that is Louis Vuitton. Now, if you’re familiar with Mr. Hudson’s sense of fashion, then you’d understand that it was only appropriate for Kanye to name this particular shoe after his G.O.O.D. Music artist. Here’s a video of Mr. Hudson at RSVP Gallery in Chicago, showing off the Mr. Hudson’s and singing an acoustic version of his song “Supernova”.
