Will it be affordable? Will it have a kangaroo pouch? Will you even be able to purchase it for retail before it sells out? After months of anticipation, these questions were answered when Kanye West’s “perfect hoodie” finally released on Sept. 29.
Of course, the “perfect” designation comes by way of the man himself. In a 2020 interview with the Wall Street Journal, he broke it down.
“The hoodie is arguably the most important piece of apparel of the last decade,” said West. What does that mean to him? “Slightly cropped at the waist” and “heavy as a winter coat.” So, the Yeezy Gap hoodies being made this way should come as no surprise whatsoever.
The first batch hit the Yeezy Gap site back in September 2021 in six colors—black, brown, tan, red, blue, and purple. A fan page pointed out that the choices may allude to the colors prominently found on some of his most popular albums. This has yet to be confirmed by Kanye or anyone from the Yeezy Gap team, but it’s certainly a nice little easter egg discovered by fans nonetheless.
