In 2009, coinciding with the debut of Kanye West's initial Nike collaboration, he unveiled three collective sneaker designs in partnership with Louis Vuitton. This collaboration was born from the bond between West and Marc Jacobs, who held the position of creative director at the prestigious French luxury brand during that period. Notably, among these sneaker styles, the Louis Vuitton Don stood out with its exclusive all-black shade, highlighting a complete suede upper in its mid-top silhouette.
