These Louis Vuitton x adidas NMD Hu Customs Will Cost You A Bomb
Limited edition sneakers may be all the rage these days, but they’ve got nothing on these latest custom sneakers by New York-based artist Ceeze.
Combining the luxurious leather prints of Louis Vuitton on an adidas NMD Hu, the pair will set you back far more than the current resale prices of the latest adidas NMD “Solar Hu”.
The prints are taken from the darker “Eclipse” monogram print, repurposed from an LV 45mm Keepall Duffle Bag.
The customs are available now from Ceeze for a cool US$2,850, which will take 3-4 months to complete and will require you to provide the base pair.
Should you require Ceeze to source for the base, that price will increase by US$200 – a decent price for an NMD Hu.
Take a closer look at the custom pair below.

Pharrell Williams and adidas Set To Release The NMD Hu “Inspiration Pack” in November
Pharrell Williams may be a hit-maker when it comes to his music but the singer-producer has been making bigger waves in recent years thanks to his adidas Human Race sneaker lines.
The most popular, of course, is the NMD Hu, which has seen crowds amass in droves just to get their hands on the latest drop and we now have a preview of its upcoming colourways.
This November, word has it that Pharrell and adidas are set to release a brand new collection called the “Inspiration Pack”, consisting of four distinct colourways.
As always, funky colour combinations are present in the collection with the likes of blue/pink and baby blue/yellow, although pairs in muted black and clean white provide a safer choice for the fashionably conservative.

Here’s Our Best Look Yet at Pharrell’s Upcoming adidas NMD “Afro Hu”
Pharrell Williams and adidas are a winning combination and the duo are set to release a brand new NMD Hu collaboration in the Fall.
A follow-up to the highly successful “Powder Dye” collection in celebration of India’s Holi Festival, the “Afro Hu” pays tribute to the African continent, the home of human civilisation.

From the shots, its clear that tribal motifs play a huge part of the aesthetics, alongside the clever use of African beads on the heel tab.
The shoe’s collar also features coloured dots to mimic the look of ankle bead bracelets from afar, adding on to the African theme.
In addition to this up-close images, photos from @presentedby gives us a decent side profile of the two remaining pairs.
