You would wonder whether I write about such an ordinary-looking shoes. Yes, it’s ordinary in design, but extraordinary in price.
Despite the little tiny metal LV monogram cube embedded in the heel, how can you tell it’s different from a $200 dress shoe displayed in a high street window? But it is $10,000, far beyond the average $600~$1000 usually seen on a LV shoes label.
This is Louis Vuitton’s new release for men for Spring/ Summer 2010: Manhattan Richelieu wingtips. It hits an astonishing price record for shoes. Featured for genuine alligator skin, it’s racing price with a Hermes special-ordered bag. However, I can see nothing more except for the material that really contributes to this price. Almost every fashion blog is talking about its vintage flair, the fine craftsmanship, and hand-painted leather sole, but that’s LV’s job, right?
Well, Wingtips, is some kind of getting back in the trend and going more and more popular these years. Originated in Scotland and commonly known as Broques, it got its American name “wingtips” for the bird-wing-like stitching at the tip of the shoe.
Here are some casual picks from a few online shops, just for readers’ information.
p.s. I love the first pair. It blends in both traditional and modern elements.
Holy cow!!! What should I call them? Boots? Or sandals with moustaches?
I don’t know, and I’m just wondering what the hell Louis Vuitton was thinking… Is it only me could remember the exact definition of “Ready to Wear”? Well, our audience are willing to see some dramatic elements involved in Spring/Summer 2010 Collections, but if you refer to those weird and strange shoes with ugly and grandiloquent tassels or moustaches, I prefer to see some ordinary designs with more and better function.
Am I too particular about those “creative” Louis Vuitton shoes? Maybe I’m the alien of the minority, even a bit of black sheep of Louis Vuitton lovers, however, when I saw various kinda shocking RTW, I couldn’t make myself ready to wear them in the next spring or summer. Rather than eat humble pie, I would prefer to be called out of vogue…
In the lead of American Hip-hop, Kanye West (full name Kanye Omari West), American famous rapper, was born on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He is a very talented and has released so many albums which have always been popular. If you are a Kanye’s fan, Louis Vuitton fan, or both, please listen carefully: Kanye and Louis Vuitton have collaborated to create a new fashion trend. He announced that he would enter the fashion industry as a “trainee.”
However, the fact has proved that Kanye has done a wonderful job. From earlier January, Louis Vuitton released many series of men’s shoes after Kanye West’s right-hand man, and this Louis Vuitton Don’s Sneaker has impressed me a lot. The bright tomato red color and the beautiful patterns on the edge, any part of this pair of shoes could be fabulous chic.
It features a tongue specifically constructed to stand straight up, creating a hip urban look. Its crafted from suede calf leather and features the Louis Vuitton rubber label on the tongue and the side, a padded anatomic insock, and rubber sole with Monogram flowers. With the padded heel flap, this Sneaker is also available in black, and white. The soft and comfortable meshed cotton can tenderly protect your feet.
Ladies and gentlemen, don’t wait and see, don’t oscillate, just simply trust Kanye & Louis Vuitton and enjoy the style and coziness brought by them.
