Although most of the hype surrounding Kanye West’s debut fashion line with adidas revolved around , Kanye also showcased some apparel, as well as a boot and a low-top sneaker.
Now, some prices for Kanye’s YEEZY SEASON 1 have leaked and let’s just say that the numbers being listed make Kanye’s sneakers look like a bargain in comparison.
Via Highsnobriety, who claim to have gotten their hands on the official pricing:
Cutting right to the chase, the entry level clothing goods, which consists mainly of hoodies, sweatshirts and the like, will be priced around €390. The knitwear will begin at €800 and wind up in the neighborhood of €1,500. Moving on to the most expensive part of the collection, outerwear will start at around €1,600 and reach a staggering €3,500.
Footwear, on the other hand, is more reasonably priced. While the Yeezy 750 Boost was already released for $350, the Duck Boot will fetch €450. We can also confirm that the low-top knit sneaker is officially called the Yeezy 350 Boost and will retail for an attractive €190.
Here are some quick conversions.
Hoodies, sweatshirts and other “entry level clothing goods” will run around $430.
Knitwear will run anywhere between $880 and $1,600.
Outerwear will start at around $1,760 and cap out at $3,800 or so.
Compared to those prices, the footwear actually comes out looking really, really attractive as far as pricing goes. The Kanye duck boot is “only” $500 and the Kanye 350 Boost will go for $210.
The reported pricing definitely runs counter to Kanye’s stated vision for his fashion line. In a recent interview, West said that he wants his clothes to eventually reach a “Zara level” in terms of pricing.
We may see more affordable Kanye-designed clothes in future years but it seems that only the thirstiest of Kanye fans and those with thousands to spend on clothes will be the target audience for the adidas x Kanye West YEEZY SEASON 1.
