Kanye West drops 1st piece from his Yeezy Gap collaboration — $200 'Round Jacket'
Kanye West dropped the first piece from his new clothing line released in partnership with Gap: A blue collared puffer jacket.
The unisex Yeezy Gap Round Jacket is available in a vibrant blue color, made of recycled nylon and sells for $200.
It marks the first collaborative item of Kanye's 10-year partnership with the clothing company.
The jacket reportedly sold out Tuesday morning, but a Yeezy Gap representative told People that the jacket is still available for pre-order despite long wait times or "Sold Out" messages on the site.
The site currently says preorders will ship this fall.
West confirmed his partnership with Gap on Twitter last summer, sharing an image of the Gap logo modified with the letters "YZY," along with the caption, "YEEZY AND GAP FORM PARTNERSHIP #WESTDAYEVER."
West, who worked in a Gap store as a teen growing up in Chicago, declared in a 2015 interview with The Cut that he would "like to be the Steve Jobs of the Gap."
The Yeezy Gap line is set to include a range of pieces for men, women and children.
"We are excited to welcome Kanye back to the Gap family as a creative visionary, building on the aesthetic and success of his Yeezy brand and together defining a next-level retail partnership," Mark Breitbard, global head of Gap Brands, said in a 2020 statement announcing the partnership.
