Kanye Debuts Colorful Shoes and Language

January 23, 2009

Kanye West debuted his monochromatic shoe designs for Louis Vuitton in Paris yesterday. LV designer Marc Jacobs was by his side and while Kanye was happy to mug for the cameras — still mullet-ed — his upset blog posts told another story. He promoted his kicks, of course, but also took time to disparage anyone who picked up a false quote from him. He was especially upset by anyone who posted a photo with his "fresh" inaugural ball suit with said quote. Kanye also issued a plea to give him a break and just let him "be great," but as long as his caps lock rants exist, it's hard to imagine anyone will leave him alone.

Kanye may be an ass, but I do like his style. Whatever he wears is instantly cool. Amazing performer as well!

I can justify almost everything about Kanye West, but this Michael Jackson "Beat It" phase is just not acceptable.

it still baffles me that he's working at LV (or interning or whatever) but i guess everyone's got to do something right?

The fact that Kanye is such an ass takes away from the fact that he IS a great musician. He should shut his friggin mouth. I DID like him...a LONG time ago.

Kanye West is such an ass. He needs to shut up.I love Marc Jacobs, but it saddens me to see him with someone who is just such a butthead.

I like how in his blog he spells it "Louie" Vuitton. Who knows how much money he just got paid. Spell the name right of the company who's signing your checks, Kanye.
