Kanye West Launches the Long-Awaited 'Yeezy Gap Hoodie'
Niko Pajkovic — October 1, 2021 — Pop Culture
Kanye West has officially launched the 'YEEZY GAP Hoodie,' the rapper's second collaboration with GAP following the 'YEEZY GAP Round Jacket' release earlier this summer.
Described by Kanye as "the perfect hoodie," the fall-ready garment is crafted from 100% double layer cotton and boasts a simplistic, pull-over design. In addition, the 'YEEZY GAP Hoodie' presents shoppers with six classic color options: brown, light brown, purple, blue, red, and black.
While the hoodies are certainly minimalist in design, they do present a distinctly Kanye-inspired look. They are oversized and baggy and feature ribbed cuffs, a large kangaroo pocket, and drop shoulders.
All of the hoodies offered in the collection come in unisex sizing for children and adults, adding to their universal appeal. They are also all reasonably priced (for a Yeezy product) at $90 for adult sizes and $20 for kids.
