Posted in News in the world on January 27, 2009 by the Wiseguy

As work in many industries dries up, a growing number of Americans are retraining for new fields in hopes of securing employment. This is certainly true for the jobless in Rhode Island, where unemployment is at 10%, the highest rate in more than 30 years and the second highest in the nation

It’s getting close to 10% in Los Angeles as well. Got to Survive!

Above is the official Kanye West x Louis Vuitton sneaker which made it’s debut in Paris at the Louis Vuitton show while Ye himself watched front and center. The shoe is 1 of 5 designed by Mr. West for the Louis Vuitton fashion house is an all red mid top with a quilted flap on the back heel to tuck your pants in as Kanye himself likes to. Peep the press release below. -

PARIS — Marc Jacobs and the Louis Vuitton men’s studio director Paul Helbers have some design competition this season. Kanye West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. Only one design, above, was featured in the show — a monochromatic midtop with no frills, save for a quilted flap in the back, all the easier to tuck pants into. “The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune,’ ” West says. “Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.” West knows whereof he speaks: he says he has no idea how many shoes he owns, but he does know that he routinely needs to send shipments off to storage. The LV-meets-Kanye kicks will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June.
