Not only is Kanye on a whole new other level right now with popularity and hype, he also actually designed original shoes, enough that you can say: "Hey, I have not seen many of those around."
Kanye has a bigger cult following that Pharrell or Jay-Z when it comes to fashion, people would kill to dress like him.
Say what you want about it being hype, but it does sell and Kanye is banking on it right now.
Take Kanye's name off of the Air Yeezy's and make it unlimited with the same price tag and it will be sitting in the store with everything waiting for it to go on sale.
But put Kanye in it, hype it up for years with teaser pics and make it limited and bam, you got gold.
Kanye has done the same with the LV's, teaser here and there and I am afraid that it will sell even at that high retail.
He is pushing the limits with the pricing but he is also testing the waters.
If the LV x KW does not sell due to high prices, making his own shoe line will be a good selling point where you can buy similar designed shoe for a lot cheaper.
If it does sell well even at high prices, then he has a set benchmark for his sig line.
That is pure genius I think.
Ok, I completely agree with you on all your points. But he's being a hippocrit. He says he wants shoes for his people and he "has the hood" in mind. How could you have "the hood" in mind with your Nike shoes costing 200+ dollars and limiting it to like 250 pairs worldwide? How does he have "the hood" in mind dropping 800 dollar Louis Vuitton sneakers? He's not doing this for his people he's doing it for himself. Maybe he should admit that before he goes around acting like he's this savior of all sorts. Kanye is dope as an artist, he is dope as a designer, he's also a dope dresser. BUT he needs to work on his PR because people aren't stupid. If he drops a shoe/clothing line, and truly wants it to be for his people, it should be affordable for everyone.
