I think these pics look great actually… But uh.. coulda done without the “BLONDE DYKE” He he hee. Although she is beautiful, something just strikes me as… IDK.
Im actually a Kanye Fan. Love him to pieces! But I really wish Kanye would be with someone Classier… I just love to see successful Black men, with Classy, Bomb @$$ females, especially when they are BLACk (I know im being biased but I love to see my Sistas being taken care of) l loved Alexis, But i understand shit dont work out sometimes….
But U know at the end of the day, he’s the one that has to be happy.. Not me, So If he like it.. I guess I gotta love it! I know his shoe venture will be successful, they are HOT!!

Love the LV kicks. Is it me, or does Amber’s “roll play”,appear that she’s been a bit disrespected? Wouldn’t it be if a man respected you he wouldn’t have you to pose NAKED in the public eye. Everyone doesn’t NEED to see what “you and yours” have! But then again, their so called relationship (that people ramp & rave about like it;s the next BEST shit) always seems “staged” and phony anyways….

These photos are pretty good. They should have got Marc Baptiste or Ruven Afanador to shoot these ads, but Kanye and Amber both look good. Love them both and the shoes are nice too. Can’t knock his hustle. Be more supportive Black people!

Nice ad for the shoes, however, if these shoes are $800., they are too pricey, but nevertheless - do you Kanye!

What was the point of kanye having a flank of pale bald-headed uncooked meat drapped across his lap? lol.. By the way, looks like her ass smells….That one pic was done in poor taste, they actually showed the crack of her smelly looking ass; they could have cut it at the small of her back. I don’t get it.
All the pics look good except the one with the big ole carpet munching sleeping dyke in it….

I like Amber, but the nudity was not called for. I don’t know what Kayne is going through, but he needs to pray for himself and the comapny he keeps.

the marketing team should of had Amber rock them with a cute outfit. N e way, I like them and would buy them…if I didn’t lose my Damn J-O-B!

Wow amber does love to be disrespected; lying naked on a man’s lap like some damn doll? what happened to self-respect, not disgracing women? uh feminism? No amount of money would make me disrespect myself like that, and if he really loved her I very much doubt he’d want the whole world seeing her ass 24/7
I used to actually really like kanye and his music but as of late he’s acting crazy, and the shoes look horrible- they’re the last thing that would catch anyone’s attention if they saw that add

Love Kanye and his style…Love the Ad…it is crazy sexy…but who the hell is going to take thier rent money to buy some over price sneakers…Yes I called them sneakers…I can go to Nike and get the same style sneakers…8 pairs for the price of one LV. We need to stop the maddness in this tough economic time.

The black one is hot, but other than that, NO. Designers are becoming so desperate these years with this wacky celebrity colaborations. Kanye is not the T when it comes to fashion, he wears labels just like the next.

My thing is that I think Amber is beautiful and Kanye is ambitious. But don’t tell me to be “supportive” when Kanye has this misogynistic ad promoting his shoes. No, I will not support this and neither should you. (What if it were a black woman’s head in some white man’s crotch?!). It’s not cool whether the woman is black or white. For those of you calling Amber a “dyke” and Kanye gay, their sexual orientation have nothing to do with this. The ad is inappropriate at best and both racist and sexist at its worst regardless of their sexuality. I’m glad people on here can be critical and call celebs out when it’s necessary but we also have to watch ourselves to make sure we aren’t falling into the traps of hating on people’s sexuality.

@ 45…. I totally agree!!
A woman’s body is her own and her’s to do with it what she pleases! If Amber wanted to sit on a stool with her legs wide open and have a shoe covering her crotch….then that’s her business.
And people…for the sake of the English language, pleaseeeeeeeee learn when to use the words THEIR, THEY’RE AND THERE!!

#21, you went hard for like no reason, but I was really lol! Though I’m not sure I agree with that whole c.mili vs. you vs. Angel thing. Anyway the gymshoes as we call them in the Chi (except for the faux NY’ers- Kanye whom I’m a fan of included) are okay. But I don’t get it either, I saw a whole youtube video of people waiting hours, damn near days for the air yeezys, I’m a bit confused at the loss of individuality of these oh so artsy and “different people” and I’m a designer/writer/photographer and all around very creative person but I wouldn’t run out and get these just to walk in the club and have 10 seconds worth of attention and a whole night of trying not to get scuffed while everybody else having a good time. I understand the exclusivity of a high price but ‘Ye would have made much more of an impact keeping them around 199.99 or something.

if amber had a unique face and great bone structure, then she’d be beautiful. now she’s just a bald-headed chick. and kanye is getting too cocky. i’m not buying this nonsense

Oh and disagreeing is not hating, I’m so tired of that word! Black people aren’t the only one’s viewing and commenting on this site, please practice what you preach by being supportive and not trying to make everything you perceive as negative, a Black thing. This is directed at #45, #48 and the rest of you, No Disrespect, just saying…

Why the hell is she naked, and laying her head on his lap? It has nothing to do with the shoe whatsoever. She is irrelevant to that ad. It makes me feel like she just happened to visit him and Kanye just told her to strip naked for the ad.
Nobody will pay $800 for some ugly looking junk, anyways.

I love Kanye and think he is extremely talented & creative. I applaud him for stepping out of the box and being unique in his music and the way he dresses. However, I think Ye is going against the values and morals that his mom instilled in him. Ms. West would have never approved the ad with him & Amber. If she (Donda) were still alive, Ye would not be publicly dating her.
Kanye, are you happy with the way you’re living and the chick that you’re dating????

I give Kanye props for designing his nikes, and louies. Which I think both are ok but not my style.
But why put your girl in a ad nude?????
For everything good he does. He will do something f-uped as well.

I agree with #19. Kanye’s a** is crazy….lol. Whatever’s good, someone is gonna buy those overpriced shoes just like someone buys all the others. Don’t get me twisted, I love to spend money, I love to shop, I have a good job……..but ain’t no way in hell I’m spending $800 on some sneakers or any shoes for that matter….that’s rent, that’s a few pairs of shoes, it’s something.
I get bored with stuff too quickly to drop that much on something I’m gonna wear a few times. Oh and ya’ll keep trippin on Amber…ya’ll know the models don’t pick how they pose and what they wear on photo shoots, that was all the photographers choosing (or maybe even Kanye’s bossy ass chose them)….all she did was agree to take the pics.

Kanye and Amber…hmm. Well you know Kanye confuses the hell out of me. On the one hand I love his artistry, I think the last album was a GREAT, GENIUS effort and I love what he has to say usually but the choices he seems to make in his personal life of late are extremely distasteful to me. Now this could very well be because I am still bitter over his breakup with Alexis but I can’t help to wonder…how in the WORLD do you go from Alexis, to this? The ad is hot, though…although I do think Amber was an unnecessary and somewhat distracting addition to the photo. Louis Vouiton is supposed to be a luxury, tasteful brand, having her in the photo makes it look much less than that. She’s a beautiful girl about the face and she has a great body, I just think she sells herself short by sporting the “I’ve just been un-handcuffed and released from the bottom of a basement” look every time she is photoed.

No y’all would’nt so please leave that woman alone and for all u haters out there kanye sneaks gonna sell.

I like the black one’s the best…the white one’s are cool too
But ummmm the first thing I noticed about this Ad was NOT the sneakers, it was Amber’s booty crack. Her booty crack drowned out the focus of the Ad which were suppose to be the sneakers
I had to look twice just to make sure I was seeing correctly. Then I felt bad for her because she’s beautiful and honestly the picture could have stopped at the small of her back.
