Weren’t able to make it down to Miami to cop some of the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga pieces that were being sold at the Donda 2 listening event? No need to worry. The initial offering from the highly-anticipated partnership hit the Yeezy Gap website early this morning.
If the new Yeezy Gap drop isn’t quite your style, there are plenty of other great pieces to sift through this week. A round of merch is now available for the I Know Nigo album, Human Made and Verdy have rekindled their collaborative relationship for a graphic-heavy capsule, and Bape has covered some classic Vans silhouettes in its signature camo patterns. Looking for something a bit more subtle? Stone Island’s monochromatic Ghost pieces and Uniqlo U’s new season may be the perfect releases for you to check out. More lowkey brands like No One, Yeah, I Work Out, and Diet Starts Monday are also serving up some great items this week.
