Hi Y’all,
I’m back with a bit short kicks edition today. Maybe more shall follow. Just needed to touch upon the recent near release of the all so hyped Kanye West Louis Vuitton sneakers.

The sneakers were supposed to be released last spring and the nagain on July 1st. However nydailynews.com reported on July 2nd that the release would be once again delayed to the end of the year.
Are these shoes ever going to come out? I mean the hype over the shoes has been pretty huge. Bigger than hype revolving around Kanye’s last album I would say. We have seen the shoes, we have heard my Yeezy talk and talk about the shoes. But where are the shoes?
I could be wrong and the shoe boxes could be shipped to your nearest LV convenience store as I write this entry, but then again the shoes could be a hyped up release never to be released to the public. Something like a movie including all Hollywood action heroes from the 80′s and 90′s (oh yeah they’re making Expendables already), now that would be badass.
But in all seriousness, the shoes are reportedly going to cost between 800 to 1200 USD. A hefty price for a pair of sneakers. I mean many would and will probably carry this sum to Nike and trade it to few pairs of rare kicks. But I guess the shoes do have that collector’s value in them as well. And since they are LV x Kanyeezy sneakers you are sure to be adored by everyone around you, especially once you tell them how much you paid for them.
Now I do admit I really like the black low top Dons (below). But I wonder if I will ever be able to try them on or buy them?

If you have up to date information about the shoes and their release or if you already have the shoes, do give me a shout. I would be glad to hear whether you like the shoes or not.
Peaceful day to everyone. I’m out…
