Kanye’s $700 Sneakers Make British Walkers Scream
The UK is clamoring to walk a day in Kanye West’s shoes- literally!
The style-conscious Jesus Walks singer has stepped up his fashion game a notch (from Nike to Louis Vuitton) with his LV sneaker collaboration, which hit retail shelves in the UK this past Monday.
Going for around $700, the line of high-stylin’ kicks are in such demand that a sales associate from UK department store Harrods told us that prior to the launch there was over a two-month waitlist for the high-end Kanye foot-fashions.
Judging from the English exuberance over Kanye’s shoes, we’re betting the US launch of the luxury hip-hop foot-fabulousness will cause a shopping frenzy unseen since the original Cabbage Patch Kids went on sale!
Don’t forget, Kanye’s Nike Air Yeezy’s sold out in no time!

« Previous 1 ... 12 13 14700 for a pair of shoes ?? lol id rather buy an unreleased blackberry
A fool and his money are soon parted…
still remains so true…
I can’t believe that hate and “shock” about these shoes. Did it ever occur to your rocket scientists’ that Kanye didn’t come up with the price???
Afterall, the dude didn’t team up with “Reebok” or “K Swiss”…we are talking about the luxury designer (arguably the best) Louis Vuitton.
If you think a regular pair of LV’s sneakers are going to go for less than $500 you’re sadly mistaken. If you don’t like the shoes, fine. If you don’t like the price, fine. But why judge what someone else does with their money? Are you really in the position to be in someone’s pockets?
Didn’t think so, folks…
Another thing i say Europeans don’t donate to american causes or charities but we continue to buy their crap. They do nothing in our communities but we continue to by their crap. Kanye get your huslte on and stop trying to sing. LOL!!!!
I ain’t mad at Kanye do what you do boy. i see sneakers going for around $500 bills sneakers that sold in the 80’s for about $60 are now $500 because Nike says they are specal editions but you can find them on the feet of about 1 out every 3 kids. The shoes are ugly and you an choose to buy or pass buy. having expensive fashions is not an indication of someone careing for others. I mean sean john sells really expensive clothes but i don’t see people ofter him for being expenesive. If people want to spend their dollars on those shoes so be it. I just don’t understand why we as a people buy gear from Europeans who could care less if we buy there crap. We all buy into materialism and if Kanye wants to cash in that is his own perogotive.
now i can understand all yall comments but for the person that call blk ppl dumb for spending x amount of money on rims is a joke. point blank ppl spend money on what they wanna spend money on. thats just how it is. lets be real. how many ppl you know right now that got a blackberry phone and dont even use have the s**t that the phone was meant for. so dont hate the fact that the shoe cost a lil money. true they ugly but obviously ppl buying them. so i respect his hustle cuz in the mist of the economic s**t we end he can still get ppl to come out of pocket of a shoe. if you dont like it dont wear it but dont hate.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE SO PHUCKING CONFUSED. WHEN SHAQ CAME OUT WITH AFFORDABLE SNEAKERS NOBODY WANTED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO CHEAP…GO PHUCKING FIGURE!!!. THE SAME BLACK PEOPLE ON HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT KANYE ARE THE SAME ONES BUYING $2000 POCKET BOOKS AND RIMS THEY CANT AFFORD EITHER. WHEN THE WHITE MAN MARKETS THEM TO US WE ARE THE FIRST IN LINE TO WASTE OUR RENT MONEY BUYING FOOLISHNESS. WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE AND INVEST WISELY AND LET THOSE WHO CAN TRULY AFFORD THEM BUY WHAT THEY WANT.
