Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Collection | Price List

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Collection | Price ListEarlier this week, we posted the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton “Don” Collection but at that time we still didn’t know how much the sneakers would sell at exactly. In a random prediction, we guessed the shoes would retail at 600+ and boy, were we wrong.

As you can see, the cheapest Kanye West x Louis Vuitton “Don” Sneaker we run you $840 and the highest sits at a whooping $1,140. The collection includes the Mr. Hudson ($840), 5 different colorways of the LV Don’s ($870), and 3 versions of the Jasper’s ($960-1,140).  It’s also being reported that each sneaker gained their names from people closely connected to Mr. West: Mr. Hudson’s  (G.O.O.D. Music Artist), LV Don’s (Kanye Himself / Doc C – Kanye’s Manager), and Jasper’s (Kanye’s Barber).

If you want to match Kanye West’s swagger and reach that level of hundred thousand trillion then prepare to dig deep into your pockets and cash out the $840-1,140 plus tax this coming June 2009.
