Kanye West Unveils New Louis Vuitton Trainers

We posted earlier about a series of trainers being designed by Kanye West in collaboration with the fashion house Louis Vuitton. The US rapper took a major stride in the fashion industry yesterday (22nd Jan), with the unveiling of a pair of trainers designed in collaboration with Louis Vuitton. The bright red shoes, which are due for release in June, were the centerpiece of the Louis Vuitton autumn collection at Paris Fashion Week.



Unlike most trainers, the shoe's design features an exaggerated quilted flap at the back, which makes it easier to tuck trousers into. Kanye wore a pair as he watched the show from the front row.



He told the LA Times that the experience of seeing his own design on the runway was “overwhelming”.

"I've wanted to be a fashion designer my entire life," he said. "And to see my stuff in the Vuitton show was something else. It was a dream come true."

The trainer on show at Fashion Week is one in a line of five that West has designed for Louis Vuitton.
