:
I have mad love for Kanye however, his fashion sense is way overrated. The man makes the clothes, not the clothes make the man. It doesn't matter wear you buys your clothes or who makes them it is how you look in them. Lord I can't wait to shock the world when my ish drops lol! Kanye has met his match!
black folks will to some extent always be slaves to the white mans drum......
Why is it worth paying this much for pair of sneaker instead of putting money aside for a house. Something you can own for 30 or more years. This is why the white mans hype these tvu *** to the fullest they want you to jock them so we stay poor and they will alwys have the upper hand.
For instance one pair was like $1100 well Gm stock right now is at $2.22 a share. You could buy 500 sahres. ina yar when prices start to climb if shares go to $10 you will have $5000 in your portfolio.
If you wanna be broke your whole life than go ahead and make the white mand richer than he already is but if you want to obtain those riches for yourself stop buying this garbage itmakes no sense.
Kanye is just another on the notch. When his mom was alive I really thought he was about something but he just like everyone else who starts to rub elbows with white people.
Gain some type of wealth and respect for yourself.
Kill me how black folkslove being branded down with the white man labels. It makes them feel good to have the white mans label on their back. how far have we really come form slavery!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kanye no longer relates to the everyday man he don't care if the people in the inner city can't afford to buy his clothing apparel or not, matter fact he seems to prefer it that way. That's why people in my city, suppose to be his city the (CHI) on the south side where he comes from they don't embrace him anymore more and his feelings got hurt and kid went all Hollywood and Outer space on us. I guess Kanye West say all ya'll ***'s might be in a recession followed by depression, BUT ME! I'M GOOD!! Kanye Some of us still think about you now and then, but now when you come home again you fit in better on the upper NORTH SIDE GOLD COAST AREA.......BUT MAYBE WE CAN START AGAIN..... 4U2.COM
Recession??? Not everyone is effected by it. In November Louis Vuitton went up by 5%. Kanye isn't Creating sneaker for these average clowns to rock. If you got it, cop it... I mean Louis Vuittion is not for everyone when u want real LE (limited Edition). There hot love the white/ivory and neon pink. Only if he had a female collection
NOT EVERYONE IN A RECESSION!!! PLUS BLACKS BEEN SURVIVING AND IF U DON'T LIKE THE SHOES THEN U DON'T LIKE THEM. BUT DON'T TRY TO DOWN GRADE HIS TALENT WHEN YO *** AND NOT ME, WAS WEARING SOME *** "USED JEANS" BACK IN THE DAY THAT WAS PRE RIPPED!! SO IF A RACIST WHITE GUY CAN SELL U THAT *** THEN WHY YE CAN'T SELL U SHOES?
For starters...NO one will know you have these shoes on unless you tell them. Second,where are you GOING in these shoes?? You can't go to the club in...ugh...tennis shoes! Don't care who they made by. Honestly, I looked at them and INSTANTLY thought.........FILA!!!
Kayne West Shoe Design = FAIL People who pay 1000 for ugly TENNIS shoes = FAIL
You gotta be a real FOLLOWER to buy these ugly *** shoes, LMAO!!!
I don't think Kanye is selling them u know how media f up a story I think he just posted on his site just to show off!Why would he sell the shoes the same price that he brought them at he wouldn't do such a thing like that his swagg wouldn't let him do such a thing media is making up $h!t ?????????????????????????
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..
interesting topic..YEAH PEOPLE WHO ARE IN TO BRANDS WILL ROCK THEM ALL DAY
LABEL HOES ARE EVERYWHERE..PEOPLE SPENDINH RENT MONEY TP SAY I HAVE THEM KANYE LOUIS
EVERYBODY KNOWS SOMEONE WHO SPEND ALL THEY BARELY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO BE ROCKIN OR COPIN THE LATEST FASHION
AND THEN YOU HAVE THEM THAT WANT BUT CANT AFFORD SO THEY GET THE KNOCK OFF VERSION
SPENDING THIS ON SHOES FOR A DUDE IS LIKE SPENDING THIS ON A NICE GUCCI,MARC JACOB,YSL,ETC BAGS
TO EACH ITS OWN
BUT SOMEBODY IS SENDING THE PAY BUTTON ON PAYPAL AS WE TYPE
FYI NOT ME...LOL
Ok.. maybe Im missing something... bc I know everyone remembers he is desingning for LV which means that the shoes arent going to be cheap!!! Recession or not thats not going to make the price change. DUH!!!!! Ugh MTO you had to find some reason to have your daily dose of Kanye but you could have come up with something better.
To co-sign with BabyFat:
I just bought some shares of Bank of America stock when it was bottoming out at $3.17 on the 5th of March and now it's at $5.80 today. An almost 60% return on my money, you *** sure won't find rates like that at your local bank. Hell, even Madoff couldn't promise returns like that!
But anyways, I like the concept of Ye's shoes and his entrepreneurial spirit but they're a tad bit too pricey.
Okay you have to remember these are Louis Vuitton, all their stuff sales for that price or higher!!! Bags, purses, shoes, luggagge, ect. Kanye's shoes are standard pricing. This is what I don't get, I don't see MTO throwing down on any of these white designers, but you're acting like Kanye is doing something different!!!
It probably cost about $27.78 to make them. The sad part is, a bunch of clowns are going to go out and buy them for NO OTHER REASON than the fact that they cost so much money. It always disgust me when I hear these rappers spend half of their album bragging about how much money they spent on something, and then wonder why rap music is still widely considered garbage.
They are for those who can afford them...not for us average MTO reading folk....kinda like ALL LV merchandise...none of their stuff is inexpensive so why would we expect Kanyes kicks on their brand to be inexpensive...most who can afford will not think twice about the price...even in this recession...for those of us balking at the price...West didnt put those out for you...this isnt the Marbury kick @ Steve & Barrys...
OK U CAN CERTAINLY TELL HE DIDN'T HAVE THE "REGULAR HARD WORKING" PEOPLE OR THE "KIDS WHO WANT TO RUN AROUND LOOKIN LIKE KANYE" IN MIND WHEN HE PRICED THESE ***.....WHOSE BUYIN THESE BESIDES DRUG DEALERS AND RICH/FAMOUS PEOPLE/CHILDREN.......THEM SNEAKERS ARE PEOPLES RENT AND MORTGAGES........SYKE HE'S SOOOOOOO MAD!!!!
No, y'all need to stop with this bs..It's okay for LV to sell their regular products at that price but Kanye should give you Wal-Mart prices..GTFOH..If you want to wear LV and you think his shoes are fly then buy them if not move along..
I haven't seen any posts of how much Jordans were and how Nike has been raping our communities and those in Asia where they are getting the cheap labor..So stop it..They are shoes..Plus you stupid *** folks at MTO complaining about the price of his shoes are the same ones i've seen hate on the likes of Shaq, Marbury and others who sell affordable shoes for kids..Now I want all of you parents who kids or adults who are wearing any of the aforementioned athletes shoes to let us know who you are..If not *** the kcuf up about how much Kanye shoes cost because at the end of the day it doesn't matter to you "wannabe keeping up with the Joneses azz ***"..
@ bluestarent
If you got so much money go get you a stylist and a new computer..How many of those did you need to post? I really hope you're a chick looking that feminine too..I'm tired of seeing all you halfs and halfs..Either you want to look like a woman or a man..Stop the dumb ***..
THIS IS INSANE.. I SEE SOME PEOPLE ON HERE THINK THAT A LOT OF US ARE HATING CAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD THESE SHOES. SOME OF YALL GOT IT TWISTED. NOT WANTING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR SNEAKERS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AN INCOME TAX BRACKET..I COULD WAKE UP TOMORROW WITH A MILLION DOLLARS ON MY LAP AND I STILL WOULDN'T PAY THAT MUCH FOR NO *** SNEAKERS!! THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'M PAYING A GRIP FOR SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE WORN OUTSIDE, GET DIRT ON, RAIN ON IT, MUD ON IT, CLUMSY IDIOTS GONNA STEP ON IT..THIS IS JUST PURE MADNESS!!
I would just buy a pair of G-Nikes and call it a day...That's what they look like...And one pair even look like Soulja's(Reebok for those up north)...
Kanye says he wants to always appeal to the everyday person...Well you lost us with these kicks, dude
Who is he making these for? His fans? Lil kids in the hood? Hustlas? White kids that wanna be black?
I don't know anyone checking for these, recession or not
After reading most of these posts, its obvious to see who buys knockoffs from the local flea market or peddler on the street! LMAO
As many have stated, they are LV's! Those shoes have NEVER been cheap...with or without Kanye's Design and if you are complaining about the price, they weren't made for you anyway.
RedDragon Flag post THIS IS INSANE.. I SEE SOME PEOPLE ON HERE THINK THAT A LOT OF US ARE HATING CAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD THESE SHOES. SOME OF YALL GOT IT TWISTED.

Couldn't put it in better words.
Lol!
I've read through these comments and all y'all have like,a good point.
Of course it's going to be very pricey,it's LV.
But You would think Kanye would have enough sense that these shoes would attract the urban community who are used to paying $150 or less for some shoes.
Only people who can afford these are some wanna-be gangster white people,which there aren't THAT many.
Kanye DO need to think a little about that,but I see that this IS LV and cheap ain't in they vocabulary.
I was just in the LV store earlier this week...all their sneakers are changing up to more eccentric styles...and Kanye seems to be the perfect poster boy for this change....Nothing in there is cheap tho...My girl bought me some stuff ... sometimes u gotta live a little...
Dont act like people wasnt spending hella money on Spinner rims..how quick that play out...
OOOOOOOHHH GOSSHHH MOST OF YA PEOPLE NEED TO GET A LIFE... EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP USING RECESSION AS A *** EXCUSE....WE'VE BEEN A RECESSION SINCE 2007 HELLLO.... YES IT'S LOUIS VUITTON NOT MADE FOR BROKE PEOPLE, IT'S PEOPLE WHO HAVE TASTE AND CAN AFFORD THEIR ITEMS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT... OOK GO ROCK YA *** AIR FORCE NIKES OR YOUR *** REEBOKS SINCE THAT MAKES YOU STYLISH... SOME OF YA MAKE ME LAUGH OF YA COMMENTS SMH..... LOL AND STOP HATING ON 'YE... HE AND THE LV TEAM CARE LESS IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT....
LMFAO!...Kanye shoes look like LA Gears neahgga!...I'm sorry, but you gotta be kidding me...The design is flamboyant enough for Kanye but made for a flamethrower!...LV or not these are corny...Ain't nothing manly about those fake vans...I'm still waiting for Kanye's new smash hit to be released this fall...I heard the song already, it's called "Homies over hoes"
kayne west should take those sneakers and shove them up his ***, who would buy those expensive shoes, people cant even find jobs these days, just goes to show how rich people wants to get richer while they exploit the poor, no one I dont think would be stuipid enough to buy those, I saw when Michael Jordan was selling his shoes, those were also expensive, and most of the stores that sell his shoes were in the poorer minority neigborhood, so people have to wake up and realize what the rich people is doing to them.
poor minorities these days are coming to realize what is going on especially now in this recession where people cant find jobs, and the economy is hitting the poor first, so I am happy to know that even kids these days are beginning to know what mindset rich people have, they think all we want is shoes, what about an education and good safe housing. Kayne west is a selfish brat, and the shoes were made for him and he should wear them, they will be popular for a while and then later on they will be off the market, just like Michael Jordan shoes, they were the number one shoe way back a few summers ago, I used to see young people just got paid from their summer jobs and line up buying those expensive shoes. They have to start reading the Nation of Islam magazines and learn how the rich minipulate the poor in ways that would amaze your mind, people have to wake up especially the poor and and working class and dont let these rich people fool you anymore. Kayne already have lots of millions why cant he sell the shoes at a reasonable price for some teenage kid that dont have any money, but no he wants to sell those stuipid shoes that will take the household mortgage money, go to hell kayne and shove those shoes up your brains.
You know what's so funny? People that spend there whole tax refund check on b.s. like this knowing that they can't afford it. And then, NOBODY in YOUR CIRCLE knows that there real cuz YOU IN DA HOOD and THEY BUY KNOCKOFFS! Now if you got it like that, do what you do. But if you had it like that, you'd do that every week NOT ONCE A YEAR! Or maybe twice if you getting school money.
