I thought dropping major dough on trendy sneakers went out with 80s. I mean, come one, who spends more than a couple hundred for non-dressy shoes? Well, apparently, I was very, very wrong because Kanye West's high priced sneaker line for Louis Vuitton just sold out--and it's only been 4 days!How high priced you ask? Try upwards of $800. Yes, that's right, almost a grand for high tops. Of course, we are talking a major luxury label but come on, they're tennis shoes.
Personally, I think this is a major downgrade for Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs has lost his mind--unless these overpriced sneaks are simply a fundraising ploy for his now discontinued Christmas party (he canceled it last year because of the economy).
So, if you feel bad for Marc's inability to lavish his friends with expensive booze and gifts around the holidays, or feel Kanye needs an ego boost, or if you just have a wad a of cash lying around and don't know what to do with it, then by all means sign up for the "wish list" that the company has now started for the second wave of luxury shoes to be released sometime next year.
But you probably have a better idea about how to spend your fashion budget.

I really hope those aren't the "luxury" shoes in the photo. They look like the New Balances I'm currently wearing, spray-painted red and with the logo removed. I paid about $100. But if Kanye spit in them, maybe they'd be worth more. Did he sew them himself? Or have a sla-- sorry, "worker" make them for him in another country?
Yeah word. Up to 800.?!! How confused are these people? Who's Kanye?
I am well in touched with many social circles in NY and globally.
Spray painted NB's with no logo sound way cooler anyway.
What I see in the photo? Uh.
NO, THANK YOU.
Did really the the Puma Black Label line or whatever it's called. I think the most expensive ones were 250 and were very well crafted and looked great.
