Almost exactly a year later, the Chicago-bred rapper surprised his fans with the first piece of YZY X GAP- a bright blue puffer jacket. Last week, Ye was spotted wearing the exact puffer in LA, teasing fans with today’s surprise release.
The ‘ROUND JACKET’ is made of recycled nylon and is available for pre-order on the Gap website.
The unisex jacket retails for $200 and is available in sizes XXS-3XL . Although many shoppers have been shown a sold-out message, others have been redirected to a waiting room where they can pre-order the jacket for an estimated arrival in the fall.
It is still unknown whether or not more pieces will drop throughout the day, but the website prompting customers for their top, bottom, shoe, and hat sizes suggests another release is coming soon.
Gap’s official Instagram posted a captionless, silent video of a floating blue puffer jacket against an all-white background. Further promo features floating projections of the jacket displayed in several locations around New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
