Kanye West's Yeezy line of clothing is one of the most exclusive and sought after brands available in the market today. Now a lot more people will look into buying Yeezy's after Kanye West says that their next releases will be much more affordable.
Yeezy releases their clothing in sets called "seasons." Kanye West had a clear cut statement when asked about his brand's pricing. "We gonna get them lowered, next season," West said in an interview with TMZ.
The releases from the first season were some of the most expensive. West was also testing the waters with these releases, which prompted Highsnobiety to say that they left "much to be desired." Season 1 sweatshirts and hoodies were priced in the range of $420. The most expensive piece in the season 1 collection cost a whopping $3,800 when it was first released.
The second season was still pricey, but not as much as the first season. Although expensive, the Yeezy line is very comfortable. According to Steve "Scuba" Johnson, the Yeezy 350 Boosts "saved his feet" when it was too painful to walk during his bout with colon cancer.
It also seems that West would not be returning to Nike anytime in the foreseeable future. "It's not about the money. It's about respect, the communication. Adidas is my family," he said. West also gave out a subtle diss to the former manufacturer of his signature shoe in his new track "Facts."
"Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, just jumped over Jumpman," he raps in one of his latest tracks. Some people have even said that "Facts" is a direct attack on star NBA player LeBron James. However, Kanye was quick to dismiss these claims.
"The media tried to make it seem like I was downplaying LeBron on my song FACTS which I would never do. Lebron is fam bottom line," West said in a tweet, which he has since deleted.
