Louis Vuitton Don, literally

L.A. Gear cornered the light-up shoe market back in the '90s. Now Kanye West—he of the Glow in the Dark Tour--may be getting into the shoe business himself.While the Chicago rapper's creations probably aren't going to actually glow (that we know of), West has been tapped to design shoes for French fashion giant Louis Vuitton, he told Women's Wear Daily last week.The collaboration shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. West calls himself the "Louis Vuitton Don" and dropped LV mentions in "Gold Digger," "Stronger," and "Better Than Yours."If Vuitton isn't quite in your price range, there's still another way to be like Kanye--kind of. A campy, new viral ad campaign for Absolut vodka promises "Be Kanye" pills that "unleash the superstar inside you" and turn you into West. See for yourself at bekanyenow.com.
