In 2009, around the same time that Kanye West released his first Nike collaboration, he also launched a trio of collaborative sneaker styles with Louis Vuitton. The joint venture had its roots in the friendship between West and Marc Jacobs, who was then the creative director of the French luxury house. This all-black edition of the Louis Vuitton Don is the only colorway of the mid-top silhouette to feature a full suede upper.
