How to shop Kanye West’s Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga release

Kanye West’s highly anticipated Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga collaboration is finally available to shop.
Officially titled Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga, the project was announced last month and was intended to be released at 9 a.m. ET on Feb. 22, but was pushed back to the same time on Feb. 23.
The West-designed items — which are now available to shop online from both Yeezy Gap and Farfetch — include eight styles that “reflect timeless silhouettes translated through the lens of Ye and Demna’s shared vision of utilitarian design,” according to a press release received by Page Six Style.
They include a denim jacket and matching jeans, a pair of sweatpants and a range of logo tees and hoodies in a handful of new colors and washes. A dove print “represents an unnamed hope for the future.”

Prices range from $120 for a T-shirt to $240 for the dove hoodie, $220 for the jean pants and $440 for the padded denim jacket.
Those steep costs are pretty standard for West, 44, who sold a so-called “Perfect Hoodie” for $90 and a “Round Jacket” for $200 as part of his primary Gap collaboration (although both pieces can fetch far higher prices on the resale market).


“This first of its kind launch sees Ye’s peerless vision bring together the most influential designer of his generation, Demna, with iconic American brand, Gap,” read an earlier press release announcing the partnership.
“Yeezy Gap engineered by Balenciaga continues Ye’s commitment to bringing creativity to the forefront and delivering his vision of utilitarian design for all.”

It remains to be seen if estranged wife Kim Kardashian will be among the first to wear West’s latest designs, as she is the face of Balenciaga’s latest campaign.
Ex-girlfriend Julia Fox may be able to get her hands on the goods too, as she’s been spotted out and about in her blue Round Jacket post-breakup.
