Kanye Update!!

MediaTakeOut reported today that Kanye West is rumored to be in discussion with people from Nike to design a limited pair of Nike Air Jordan’s.  Although negotiations are just starting, insiders say that Kanye and Nike are excited about the project.

Earlier this year, Kanye West launched his designs for Nike: The Air Yeezys, in 3 colorways; the Zen Gray/Charcoal, The Black/Black and The Net/Net.  Each colorway launch was much anticipated by Yeezy fans because each colorway is only produced in very limited quantity.

Still in sneakerworld, Kanye West’s Louis Vuiton kicks have also been seen from one red carpet to another, worn by his fellow celebs.

Looks like the American Boy is serious in the kicks business.

Check out Kanye’s Nike Air Yeezys and Kanye Louis Vuitton Kicks!

Hot.  Can you guess whose LV those are?

They’re Carmelo Anthony’s!  Love the matching cardigan too.

And another person was also wearing pink to match the kicks is Lance Gross.

We’re not feelin’ his version of pink, though.

What do YOU think?  Which one rocked Kanye West’s Louis Vuitton sneakers the best?

The collection was set to be released at July 1st, however, there’s no confirmation yet on the official release date.  The Kanye x LV collaboration includes The Don, The Jasper, and The Mr. Hudson.

Any thoughts on the shoes?

We try to focus on the shoe, but Amber’s bald head is really a distraction.  We really hope the picture gets retouched.  By the way, Kanye is wearing the Black colorway of the Kanye Louis Vuitton hi-top sneakers series.  Here’s the shoe’s close-up.

And in this picture, Yeezy is sporting the red colorway of the Kanye Louis Vuitton Sneakers Low-top series.

And there’s your boy wearing the extra-sassy Brown colorway.

The Kanye West Louis Vuitton sneakers will be available in June 2009.

Wanna rock those grey kicks like Kanye West?

Well, big news for Kanye fans!  We here at CelebrityClothingLine have talked about Yeezy’s LV shoes (almost) too much now, that we almost forget about Kanye West’s venture with the folks at Nike.  Yes people, Kanye West and Nike are collaborating and they have come up with these super DOPE kicks: the Nike Air Yeezys.

Here’s a brief rundown of the shoes.

Nike Air Yeezys are equipped with debossed ankle collar pods for added support and protection, extra-thick sock liners, a forefoot support strap, original functional tension lace loops and Phylon tooling taken from the 1987 Nike Air Assault for added performance and comfort.  These features are all developed and integrated with one goal in mind: to keep Kanye on lock down in cushioned comfort during his performances during his many notoriously strenuous artistic live performances.

The new and improved Nike Air Assault outsole is treated to glow-in-the-dark properties and will illuminate when the light is low.  The forefoot support strap is premium grade patent leather and you can see for yourself, there are no stitching in its construction.  Sleek and streamlined, the Nike Air Yeezys are fit for those who look for comfort and style (read: has a Kanye sense when it comes to fashion).

If you’re feelin’ the kicks that Kanye wears in the picture, they’re the Nike Air Yeezys in Zen Grey/LT Charcoal color way and they happen to be the first Air Yeezys to drop on April 4th, 2009.  The Black/Black version will drop in May and the Net/Net color way will be available in June.  That’s 3 months of dopeness coming your way, people.

We say Kanye West has proved his knack for design again.  For more information on the kicks, you can roll over to Nike Air Yeezys.

We can say anything we want, but Ye’s the fashion guru here.  If he loves the jacket, he means it.  So, forget the ‘don’t wear the same thing twice’ fashion rule, and change it into ’spread the love’.  Yeezy’s arm candy, Amber Rose, caught the denim fever and rocked a matching getup not long afterwards.

Today we found out that this whole denim craze might just be the cue to Ye’s next kick into the fashion world.  Even if it means putting his upcoming Pastelle clothing line in standby mode, Kanye West is already meeting up with people from Religion clothing firm.  As our friends at WoooHa.com reported, Yeezy is planning to launch a new jeans label, and is searching for inspiration.

A source said: “He really loves British style – it’s captured his imagination.  And he wanted to tap into the source to give him some ideas.  Religion has developed as a trendy label among celebs and Kate Moss and Sarah Harding are big fans of the line.”

Unlike some other stars who claimed to be celebrity “designers” just by lending their name for the product, Ye longs for credibility.  The same source also revealed, “Kanye wants his product to have the same level of prestige.  He doesn’t want his clothes to just have his name on, he wants to develop them into a credible range.”

We say good for him.  Kanye’s seem to be walking in the right path sans the ugly rat tail he had a few months back.  All he needs to do now is lose the bald chick and become a true style master.

Kanye West started his collaboration with high-end brand, Louis Vuitton, last year.  Yeezy is a huge fan of the brand, so huge that he’s even after an internship position with LV.  But it turns out that LV saw more in Yeezy than just his passion for fashion, hence the multi-colored sneaks that will be available in June, 2009.

We’ve raved about his previous kicks designs, and we think these new ones are hot too.  But more importantly, what do YOU think?

From the fab bunch, we have Carrie Underwood leading the way with her golden sparkly dress.

While we love Jennifer Hudson’s red carpet dress, we also had our eyes set on her stagewear.  She looked amazing!

British star, Estelle, rocked a sparkly number which complemented Kanye’s… err… blazer.  Okay, now we have a question: could it be Estelle has serious insecurity issues about her hips?  She keeps on wearing dresses with fake hips!  Or was it Kanye’s idea?  We’ll never know.  Note to Yeezy: while we love your boldness, glittery stuff is really girls’ domain.

Fantasia looked fantastic with her embellished dress.  We’re just not really feelin’ the shoes.

We absolutely love Gwyneth Paltrow’s metallic strapless mini dress!  And for the dress’ sake, we’ll forget her ‘British’ word-drop: “…the utterly brilliant Radiohead”.  Why don’t we just leave the British thing to Madonna for now.

To tell you the truth, we’re kinda down and out with celebrities wearing those Herve Leger bandage dress.  But Tiny rocked the metallic version this time.  She grew a sense of style!  We’re not really with TI this time, ‘coz we prefer his undone tuxedo look when he performed with the “Rap Pack” onstage.

Paula Abdul tried to get on board the metallic glam trend, but she boarded the fashion trainwreck instead.  Nice try, Paula.

And so did Katy Perry, who puts rhinestones on her ‘fruity’ getup.  Thank God it’s just for show.  She actually looked much better on the red carpet.

Any thoughts on this looming trend, people?

On our last posts, we’ve raved about his newly unveiled Louis Vuitton kicks.  But Yeezy doesn’t like too much love.  Now he’s trying to make us hate him by telling us about his new nickname.  Take a look.

LOL!

“Been called” The Louis Vuitton Don?  We’re pretty sure it’s self-proclaimed, Yeez.  And the new nickname… Martin Louis The King, Jr.  We can’t even be hateful as we are severely short of breath.  LOL!

We won’t be surprised if he teams up with MTV in the near future to make a reality show.  So is this a hate post?  Nah, we’re loving Yeezy more each day and we’re anticipating his upcoming nickname-change.  What will it be?  The Vuitton-Crazed Rapper Who Was Known As Kanye?

Okay, after seeing this superfly kicks, we’d have to say that the only thing we hate about Yeezy right now is his inexplicable mullet.  Other than that, we think Kanye West brought it.  As a celebrity-designer, Kanye put a lot of thought in his shoe design, as in putting the quilted flap in the back to make it easier to tuck pants into.  Kanye’s thoughts on the extra flap: “The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune’. Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.”  So far, we think he nails being different.  We also took a peek of his creation in nude color.

The Louis Vuitton kicks by Kanye will be available in June 2009.  Meanwhile, we’re still hangin’ out, waiting for Kanye’s Pastelle clothing line to drop.
