Dank Customs Air Jordan 4 (Louis Vuitton Don For Wale)
You may not be able to cop any of Kanye West's work with Nike for under a stack at resale nowadays, but if you got in early and got hella lucky on launch day, then you wouldn't have paid much over a couple hundred dollars. Nike ain't the only brand Ye has done sneaks for though, and his work with Louis Vuitton came straight out of the blocks demanding a thousand bucks at retail – maybe some of y'all would have been wiser to go straight for them? It's too late now, but that 2009 collection is still lingering in some folks' heads; clearly rapper Wale caught feelings for them, leading him to commission this Air Jordan 4 custom. Forged by , the 'Louis Vuitton Don' custom replicates the steelo of on one of Wale's fave Js, and it looks damn fine. Gorgeous layers of violet, mauve, peach and burgundy make it a purped-out classic for true ballers that are deeply in touch with their feminine side. Gilded lace tassels, Wale 'W' logo embossed tongue tags and a stunning laser-engraved presentation box with shoe trees confirm this as Dank's most impressive effort yet. Bravo!
