Kanye West x Louis Vuitton ‘Dons’ - New Pictures

Just when we thought the news about the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton ‘Dons’ had died out for a little while we have been proven wrong. The gang over at BKRW has posted a few new pictures giving all of us a look at each colorway which is set to release. This isnt the first time we have caught a look at the color schemes which will be made available when the Louis Vuitton Dons are releasesed but these shots are defiantly some of the more clearer ones we have seen.

Total there are five colorways pictured, with three high top models and two low cut designs. When it comes to the high top design there is an all black model, an all white model and one which is made from a combo of white/grey/pink. The low top design on the other hand comes in a black color scheme and a light brown/dark brown/pink colorway.

The Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Dons are expected to start hitting LV retailers in June 2009. We have still yet to hear anything else about the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton womens sneakers so we will be sure to keep you updated on those as well when info drop.

A closer look at all five colorways follows after the jump.

Asics GEL-LYTE SPEED 2009 Spring/Summer Collection

A handful of new Asics GEL-LYT SPEED are in the midst of an upcoming release. The shoe’s history saw it as the follow-up to the popular GEL-LYT III as the Japanese engineered model which originally released in 1989 saw a further worldwide Europe and US drop in 1991. The shoe released at a time when running was growing steadily and diversity in running models were following suit. The lighter weight model included such Asics highlights as the split-tongue and of course the iconic GEL cushioning system. Three new colors will release in the near future in some clean and solid colorways. Look for Endorsed.NL to drop the goods soon.

Nike HyperMax

In the latter part of the 2008-09 NBA season, we finally spotted players such as Carlos Boozer and LaMarcus Aldridge sporting the Nike Hypermax. It has been said that this sneaker is the ‘big man’ version of the Nike Hyperdunk. In addition, one of the more unique colorways of the Nike Hypermax has now dropped at select retailers.

This particular Hypermax draws inspiration from one of Charles Barkley’s memorable Nike poster. A picture of the poster is imprinted on the insole. Using the exact same color scheme as the aforementioned poster, this shoe contains various coloration on the upper including red (swoosh), yellow (flywire design, ankle strap, side wall), black (midsole, heel panel, side panels) amongst other colors. This is sure to be a neck breaker to say the least.
