Exactly what I was thinking.Originally Posted by DeezyVSOP
Geez, this is exactly what we don't need.
"he proclaimed that Kanye had the hood in mind when designing the $215 Nike Air Yeezys and the $800+ Louis Vuitton sneakers"
My head is about to explode trying to grasp this statement. Did he mean "exploiting the hood" in mind?

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.
People into fashion don't want to dress like Kanye at all.. and everyone used to dress like Pharrell in 2006 so there goes another argument.. oh and louis vuitton x kanye shoes can sell for that price because it's louis vuitton.
That's where you've missed it. People do flock to those stores in attempt to get that certain "look." One that 'Ye hasglamorized over the past couple.Originally Posted by RFX45

Trust me, if Kanye starts wearing clothes that are cheaper like H&M, everyone would be flocking those stores.

Those rocafella shoes look like a rip off supra's and af1's

The S. Carters and GUNIT lines were some of Reeboks highest, if not THE highest grossing shoes in their history. but i do agree, if Kanye puts a shoe out with the same marketing techniques as Carters and G-G-G-G-UNIT lines, it can be successful. he's a walking and breathing billboard to the masses.
