On Tuesday, June 8, West’s 44th birthday the rapper and the clothing line surprised fans when it dropped a single item from the collaboration — a blue, unisex puffer jacket made of recycled nylon.
Shoppers were able to pre-order the jacket for arrival in the fall after signing in to a waiting room. We were able to get into the waiting room and order the jacket, while some reported to us long waits.
According to YEEZY reps, don’t give up: “Due to incredible demand, some may see long wait times, and others may have seen a Sold Out message. Hang tight, the waiting room is open.”
The Round Jacket, available on Gap’s website for U.S. customers only, was listed for $200.
According to the site, the jackets are due to arrive Oct. 14, 2021.
