How I Stumbled Onto This Wemby Louis Vuitton Buzz
So last Tuesday morning, I was scrolling through Insta with my coffee when this fan page post about Victor Wembanyama popped up. Dude was tagged near some LV store in Paris, and comments were blowing up about some secret collab. My blogger brain went ding – time to investigate.
The Rabbit Hole Dive Begins
First, I hit up all the usual spots: checked Louis Vuitton’s official socials, NBA news sites, even Wemby’s own Twitter. Total silence. Zero official announcements. Annoying. So I started digging through French fashion forums and basketball subreddits like a raccoon in a dumpster.
Found this one blurry pic from a supposed “insider” showing Wemby sitting with LV designers sketching something. Looked shady AF – probably photoshopped. Still, saved it for later. Then I binged every recent Wemby interview, pausing whenever he mentioned “off-court projects.” Guy’s slick – dropped hints about “elevating personal style” but never named brands.
Connecting Dots (Or Making Them Up?)
Remembered last month’s Vogue article where LV’s creative director teased an “unexpected athlete partnership.” Cross-checked dates with Wemby’s Euro trips. Boom – he was in France right when LV had private events. Coincidence? Maybe. But my gut said track this.
Made a timeline on my Notes app:
- March 3: Wemby spotted at Paris airport
- March 5: LV closed their Champs-Élysées store for “private project”
- March 7: That sketch photo leaks on Twitter
Sketchy? Absolutely. Worth documenting? Hell yes.
Why I Think This Might Be Real
LV loves tall dudes – worked with Yao Ming before. Plus, Wemby’s 7’4″ frame is a walking billboard. What sealed it for me? Found archived posts showing Wemby wearing custom LV kicks during All-Star weekend. Not team gear – personal pieces. Sneaky.
Where It Stands Now
Current status: still hunting. Bookmarked French tabloids, set Google alerts for both names, even slid into DMs of that “insider” account (no reply, shocker). My prediction? If this drops, it’ll be right before the Olympics for maximum hype. Until then, I’m refreshing pages like my WiFi’s gonna expire. Classic internet wild goose chase – but man, it’s fun.
