I really wanted a pair of the black Millionaires but not if it means re-releasing just to rack in more sales revenues...It seems that LE means absolutely nothing anymore and LV will happily supply whatever quantity is needed to meet demand if the $$$ is right...

I hear what your saying, even though i like the black and i guess that would be my first choice maybe now not since they rereleased that color twice maybe soon to be 3 times. But i think redoing it in another color is fine. Because then you can tell the diff between the originals and rerelease.

I think it sucked that they re-released the black ones. It makes them less special and if I had bought the first generation ones, I would be really upset.
As long as they re-release them in different colors, then I think it's okay.

I forgot to add that I would love a red pair, but hope that they aren't re-released.
Tortoise and navy would look amazing. I would be happy with those.

So you were right when you brought up the whole Navy thing with me before? I am glad! Also glad to know someone other than myself was given this info (of another "Millionaire" release). The Navy's would look nice with my Purple ones! Very Excited, but I must say after tosh suggested the light blue, I definitely like that idea more!

Okay, now I'm getting excited!

Mediana · Mar 5th, 2009, 06:34 AM

Anyone have pictures of these?

deluxeduck · Mar 5th, 2009, 06:57 AM

im alright with them doing new colours, but it sure upset me when they redid black again. as i thought they were a one time only deal when i got my black pair in 2005. im pretty indifferent now with the rumours of a third installment.

Navy and grey sound great!

john_satc · Mar 5th, 2009, 05:38 PM

They have a white at Manchester, UK store

mercx5 · Mar 5th, 2009, 08:15 PM

^^ White millionaires or evidence?

OK now we know the colours, when are they coming?

rishin · Mar 5th, 2009, 10:15 PM

I'd say summer for a release... along with the groom (which is what my SA seems to think will be the release now)

Personally, I feel this year may have rehashes of past popular collections (graffiti, groom, millionaires because these items are tried and true compared to new designs which seemt o kind of be hit or miss lately) in order to keep people buying because there was a fairly big deal around the Groom and Millionaire, and there was so much hype around Graffiti and Roses.

tosh · Mar 5th, 2009, 10:52 PM

I was at LV this evening and asked my SA about the Millionaires.
She didn't know, but they are having as accessories meeting next Friday and she will find out then.
I have a feeling that they will be released again, but once I know for sure then I can start saving :)
Rishin, thanks for the information!

stylefiend · Mar 5th, 2009, 10:55 PM

I wonder if they will do a twist to it and have silver hardware instead of gold...like how the Evidence has silver components to it in the grey version...

I'm so excited. I need to start saving money if this is true...

tosh · Mar 5th, 2009, 11:04 PM

If I hear anything definite, I will be sure to post the information.
