A $90 hoodie broke a Gap.com record, Engineered by Balenciaga followed, and then it was over. What's left sits in one
warehouse in Tennessee, and it's in stock at Retailer, shipping worldwide.
20 of the 21 pieces are Engineered by Balenciaga. The other is the Round Jacket (2021), in red, blue and black.
They're live at Retailer and ship worldwide.
On 26 Jun 2020 Gap announced a ten-year deal with Ye, with an option for five more. It took a year to ship
anything. The first piece was the blue Round Jacket, $200, up for pre-order on Ye's birthday, 8 Jun
2021, and he wore the black one to Balenciaga's couture show in Paris that July.
That Balenciaga seat mattered later. First, though, came the hoodie.

The record
29 Sep 2021: a $90 hoodie breaks Gap.com
Gap's listing just said Hoodie. It went live on gap.com/yeezy at $90, US only, in six colours, with two to
eight weeks to ship. Bloomberg reported that within hours every adult size from large up was gone.
Gap later told investors no item had sold more in a single day on Gap.com, and that 70% of the buyers
were new to the brand. No drawstrings, double-layer construction, and a name the fans gave it: the Perfect Hoodie.

The third name
2022: Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga
In February 2022 the line got a third name, and a much longer label. The first Yeezy Gap Engineered by
Balenciaga drop, on 22 Feb, put the Logo 3/4 Sleeve Tee on yeezygap.com at $120, and it was still $120 when drop two landed.
That was 27 May: the Loose Tank at $80, and the Second Skins, close-cut tanks and sleeveless tops
at $60. Both went up on yeezygap.com.

Never at Gap
Made for Yeezy Gap. Gap never sold them.
Some of it never got that far. The fleece back yoke tee and the H09 polar fleece hoodie were made for Yeezy
Gap, but neither turns up anywhere in yeezygap.com's archived catalogue. Gap never sold either one, so
neither has a retail price on record.
The plain Gap tee had a stranger afterlife. Gap never sold that either, but yeezy.com did, in 2024, at about
$20. Yeezy Gap's own store said its pieces didn't come with hang tags. The tell is the blue YZY tab inside the
neck.
On 15 Sep 2022 Ye told Gap he was ending the deal. CNBC reported Gap would wind it down and sell through
what it had. On 25 Oct Gap said it was taking Yeezy Gap out of its stores, and that it had shut
YeezyGap.com.
That November Gap's quarterly filing carried $53 million in charges on the line, primarily related to
inventory. Its filings don't say where the stock went.

Now
Tennessee, 2026: 140,000 pieces, one warehouse
By the warehouse's own count of 31 Aug 2026, one warehouse in Tennessee holds 140,000 pieces of Yeezy Gap.
About 18,000 of them are loose tanks, and close to 7,000 are Logo 3/4 Tees. The yoke tees are still in their
bags.
Retailer photographed them there in September 2026, and they're in stock at Retailer now. Gap signed
for ten years. What it made in two is still going out the door.

What buyers say
★★★★★
“Wow. Very premium. I am so tempted to buy the other colour. XS fits me very well for 167cm 78kg. I think I can still fit both the XXS and small but the XS hits the sweet spot”
Glenn · Fleece Yoke Tee · Jun 2026
★★★★★
“Awesome, great quality and authentic. Quick shipping, each tee came individually packed inside it’s original bags. Good job and thank you!”
Frederico · Yeezy Gap Tee · Jul 2026
★★★★★
“This is my second 5pack I’m ordering. This Tees are great. There is no other brand or product can beat this quality and price.”

Every piece carries Yeezy Gap's blue YZY tab inside the neck. Yeezy Gap never used hang tags, and its own store said so. Retailer's photos from the warehouse are on this page.
Why is it this cheap?
Gap ended the line in 2022 and its filings put $53 million in charges on it, mostly inventory. They don't say where the stock went. This is the Yeezy Gap that was left in one warehouse.
Is it new?
Yes. The yoke tees in the photos are still in their bags.
Does it ship outside the US?
Yes. Since the drop on 7 Nov the Tennessee pieces ship worldwide, and so does the Gap tee.
Gap never sold its plain tee, but yeezy.com did in 2024 and called it a medium weight tee. How it’s cut, the colours it came in, and what’s printed on the label.
The Foam Runner fits true to size for most feet, but it only comes in whole sizes, so half sizes go up. Wide feet are the exception, and the foam only gives so much.
The Yeezy Slide only comes in whole sizes and runs small. Stadium Goods says a full size up from your Yeezy size; Farfetch’s wearers split between half up, full up and true to size. Here’s how to pick.
The 350 V2 runs small, and the big sneaker guides agree on half a size up. Where they split: wide feet, thick socks, the knit that stretches, and the V1, Mono, MX and CMPCT, which don’t all fit the same.
yeezy.com sold its 2024 clothes in sizes 1, 2 and 3, and a 2 meant M-L on some pages and L-XL on others. The box tee’s measurements, both charts, and which pieces used which.
Gap never sold the zip-up, and yeezy.com gave it one line of fit advice in 2024. Its measurements in every size, set against the Perfect Hoodie chart Gap did publish.
How to check Yeezy Gap against Gap’s own records: style numbers, the blue YZY tab, care labels and made-in countries, piece by piece, with photos of real labels.
Gap stopped selling Yeezy Gap on 25 Oct 2022 and yeezygap.com now sends you to gap.com. Where it sells in 2026, from StockX, GOAT and Grailed to the archive stockists, and what to check first.
Gap signed Ye for ten years in 2020 and pulled Yeezy Gap on 25 Oct 2022, booking $53 million in charges, mostly on stock. Where the leftovers went, and why they sell for so little now.
Yeezy Gap’s own size charts for the Perfect Hoodie, Logo 3/4 Tee and Loose Tank, in inches and centimetres, what its models wore, and where Gap never published one.
In February 2025 a 30-second local spot sent viewers to Ye’s online store. Within the hour it was selling one $20 T-shirt printed with a swastika, and Shopify took it offline on 11 Feb.
Gosha Rubchinskiy’s Christmas 2024 drop is remembered for its Cyrillic. yeezy.com sold every piece blank too, and the socks came with mismatched emblems the size of a coin.
The RC-01 carried Вестник Трибун across the back. A blank one followed 48 minutes later, with the N3N tee and the SP-06 jogger in the same nine-piece drop.
In late October 2024 Ye stepped out in Shibuya in white sweatpants printed in Cyrillic. Gosha Rubchinskiy’s nine-piece YZY collection built on that print didn’t drop until 26 Dec.
After the October 2022 split the fight ran through a New York courtroom, a private arbitration and a shareholder suit in Portland, until a settlement in October 2024.
In July 2024 Ye went to lunch in Los Angeles in black shorts with a round emblem printed on each leg. YZY didn’t put them on sale until that Christmas, as the SH-01.
Resellers call it the H14. In April 2024 Ye’s store listed it in navy as the YZY Zip-Up Hoodie, a half raglan cut, and every size from XS to 2XL was gone.
Made for Yeezy Gap and missing from yeezygap.com’s archived catalogue, the blank tee turned up on yeezy.com by April 2024 as the YZY Short Sleeve T-Shirt, in black, dark grey and taupe.
It surfaced around Ye in 2017 and got nicknamed the Desert Rat. It dropped as the 500 Blush in February 2018, and came back in tonal grey Stone Salt in March 2024.
Dazzling Blue landed the week of Donda 2 in 2022. After the deal ended, adidas sold the pairs it still held, then in February 2024 unveiled a Steel Grey Ye said he never made.
In February 2024 the United Center sold out for a listening event announced that same week. Two days later, the mask Ye wore that night was on the Vultures 1 cover.
In November 2023 Ye ate at Nobu’s Dubai beach restaurant barefoot, because the chef was wearing his sock shoes. They went up for pre-order as the YZY Pods on 15 Dec.
Gap pulled the line in October 2022 before the zip-ups arrived. A year later What’z Up had them on a rail in Tokyo, sun-faded, with a blue YZY tab and a Made in Indonesia label.
Through the summer of 2023 Ye went round Florence, Rome and Milan in black sock shoes or no shoes at all. In December they became the YZY Pods, his first shoe after adidas.
Boxy, cropped and faded unevenly in bronze, bluestone and grey, with a blue YZY tab at the neck. It’s missing from Gap’s archived store, and there’s no retail price on record.
A cropped fleece hoodie and a straight pant with ankle zips, made as a set for Yeezy Gap. Neither appears in Gap’s archived store, and neither has a retail price on record.
Ye opened Balenciaga’s Paris show on 2 Oct 2022. By 25 Oct his agency and three brand partners had cut ties, and adidas was counting what the leftover Yeezy stock would cost it.
Twitter locked his account on 8 Oct 2022, and by the 25th his biggest partners had walked. He apologised in 2023, took it back in 2025 and apologised again in January 2026.
Ye staged the show off the official schedule on 3 Oct 2022 and wore the shirt himself. The backlash ran for days, and adidas put the Yeezy deal under review on 6 Oct.
Ye ended the Yeezy Gap deal on 15 Sep. Gap kept its pipeline running: the Coated Cotton Overalls a week later, the polar fleece on 11 Oct, then the store went dark.
Yeezy Gap launched its YR 3022 shades in August 2022 through friends’ Instagram posts, not a lookbook. Uzi’s shows him beside Ye in the black Sleeveless Second Skin.
It went up with the second drop in May 2022, in a men’s cut and a women’s cut, black and dark green: polyester and spandex, with a chest pocket you’d barely see.
Set for 25 May 2022, the drop went live on 27 May on yeezygap.com, Farfetch, Mytheresa and LuisaViaRoma, and brought the skin-tight Second Skins with it.
In March 2022 Ye watched his son’s soccer game in an oversized navy zip-up with no drawstrings. Gap never sold Yeezy Gap’s zip-up. By April 2024 yeezy.com had sold out of it in navy.
Vogue ran the first Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga lookbook on 23 Feb 2022. The Dove Hoodie is in two of its 25 looks, in the only colour the first drop had.
Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga opened in February 2022 with a cropped, double-layer tee: a tonal GAP arch on the front and a white dove spread across the back.
It went up on gap.com/yeezy on 29 Sep 2021 as a US-only presale in six colours. By the next morning most adult sizes were gone, and Gap later put the day in its results.
The third Donda listening event, in August 2021, brought a replica of his mother’s house, a mask that stayed on all night and a closing look from Demna’s first Balenciaga couture show.
At the Atlanta listening event on 22 Jul 2021 the merch table had a single cream long sleeve: the Mercedes-Benz star on the front, a childhood photo of Donda West behind.
Yeezy Gap’s first product came in blue, black and red in the summer of 2021. Each colour turned up on Ye, in LA, Paris and Atlanta, before the pre-order opened.
adidas dropped the QNTM Frozen Blue two days before Christmas 2020: blue knit that glows in the dark, full-length Boost and that heel, in every size from adult down to infant.
In September 2020 he posted a folded grey-purple hoodie with a Kanye 2020 Vision tag on the hood and nothing else on it. The campaign site went live with prices that October.
Between the June 2020 deal and the first sale a year later, Yeezy Gap lived on Ye’s Twitter: a fitting clip from Wyoming, a wall of kids’ clothes and a bag he called a mock-up.
In July 2020 Sotheby’s sold a size 9 Zen Grey sample made at Nike’s Feng Tay factory in December 2008. A year later a wear-test pair surfaced with its strap cut off.
It shock-dropped on Yeezy Supply on 26 Jun 2020 as the cheapest Yeezy shoe yet. adidas was still releasing new colours in 2024, well after it split with Ye.
A month after the Yeezy Season 8 runway in Paris, Ye turned up at Yeezy’s Calabasas office in its yellow boot. It went on sale in November 2021 as the Knit Runner Boot in Sulfur.
Ye tweeted the Yeezy 451 as an early prototype in April 2018 and wore a sample to Sunday Service in Paris in March 2020. It went on sale in 2021 as the Yeezy 450.
Flax went to Asia Pacific, Africa, the Middle East and India, and nowhere else. It opened a run of earth tones that ended, 16 months later, with an upper you could half see through.
Kim Kardashian showed it first in October 2019. It dropped that December at $55, topped the Lyst Index in 2021, and adidas was still releasing new colours in 2024.
Days after he’d presented the shoe at Fast Company’s festival like a phone launch, Ye wore a pair on Travis Scott’s stage in Houston. Yeezy Supply didn’t release it until June 2020.
Ye first showed a 700 V3 in August 2018, and it looked nothing like the shoe that released. The caged version turned up a year later, on Ye, on a red carpet and on an Atlanta airfield.
Kim came to the 2019 Met Gala in custom wet-look Thierry Mugler. Ye stood beside her in workwear and his own Season 4 combat boots, and the jacket’s price made the headlines.
Sunday Service played Coachella on Easter 2019 with the choir in a neoprene sock boot. Its tag reads SAMPLE, its designer says it led to the 380, and nobody could buy one.
In December 2018 Ye tweeted a fit pic in black Yeezy boots nobody had seen. Hypebeast and Complex tied them to a deleted sketch of his 2019 line, and neither could name them.
Through the 2018-19 Celtics season he kept arriving at games in Ye’s 2012 Nike shoe, in Pure Platinum and Solar Red. In 2022 he wore it courtside at a WNBA game.
Guests at the Los Angeles listening party on 7 Jun 2018 went home with one before the album was out. By the next day anyone could buy it on shop.kanyewest.com.
In April 2018 Ye tweeted a chunky blue clog with a jagged sole, and the internet had jokes ready. The slide adidas released in December 2019 kept almost none of it.
One photo and a basketball emoji in April 2018. The Quantum didn’t reach the public until All-Star weekend 2020, when Ye’s team handed out free pairs from all-terrain trucks around Chicago.
On Black Friday 2017 he went shopping in West Hollywood in a stripeless pale yellow sample. adidas’s next pale yellow pair, the Butter, came seven months later.
A leaker called the pair Stormzy wore at the 2017 MTV EMAs fake, 13 days before release. The Beluga itself runs from the first 350 V2 in 2016 to the Carbon Beluga in 2023.
It went out in October 2017 to Wave Runner and second Calabasas drop buyers. Melissa Collett wears the Mist hoodie through its spreads, the eagle crest across her back.
In the second half of 2017 the only Wave Runner anyone could order was a pre-order that shipped in November. Ye spent those months in green, high-cut and reflective pairs that weren’t on any release list.
A red band in 2016, red letters in 2017, a blank stripe by 2022. Three black 350 V2s, and the Nottingham queue that camped two days for the middle one.
Five days after the Cubs’ Game 7, their third baseman arrived at Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a black suit, a black tie and the all-black 750 Boost. Kimmel had spent August trolling Yeezy fans.
Super Bowl 50’s MVP opened the 2016 NFL season against Carolina in an off-white Yeezy 750 cleat. Three days later DeAndre Hopkins scored in the 350 version, and the league fined him.
Yeezy Season 4 opened New York Fashion Week on Roosevelt Island in September 2016, in camo and a muted palette. The boxy camo hoodie turned up at Revolve and on Yeezy Supply.
It opened in Indianapolis in August 2016 and was called off in November with 21 dates left. Off the platform, Ye wore the tour’s own merch and a 350 V2 nobody had yet.
In August 2016 Ye walked Midtown Manhattan with Kim Kardashian in a white and black Yeezy Boost nobody had seen. adidas didn’t release it until February 2017.
Yeezy Season 3 and The Life of Pablo premiered together on 11 Feb 2016. Ye ran it off a laptop on the arena floor, in a Pablo long sleeve the merch booth was already selling.
In December 2015 Swaggy P became the first player to wear the 750 in an NBA game, at Houston. On New Year’s Day, the day after Ye’s ‘Facts’ name-checked him, he came back in black.
The day Ye headlined Barack Obama’s San Francisco fundraiser in October 2015, Kim Kardashian West posted a Pirate Black 350 and a 750 Boost, each box marked for the president.
On 2 Sep 2015 he sang ‘What Do You Mean?’ with The Roots in an Off-White camo jacket and Turtle Dove 350s, then gave Purpose its release date from Fallon’s couch.
The first Yeezy Boost 350 was on Ye in New York and Atlanta before its June 2015 release, and the Pirate Black followed the same way that summer. Both came back years later.
She modelled Ye’s first adidas collection in New York in February 2015. In February 2016 he tweeted she was ‘1000%’ on his team, and Puma announced her eight days later.
Ye’s first collection for adidas opened in New York in February 2015, staged by Vanessa Beecroft and screened live in cinemas. Backstage, the 750 Boost was on his feet two days before it went on sale.
Outside Roc Nation’s brunch in Beverly Hills in February 2015, photographers got the 750 Boost a week before it launched in New York. Getty’s caption was still guessing.
Ten days after the Air Yeezy 2 dropped, the 16-time Grand Slam champion was shopping in London in the Black/Solar Red pair, a week before Wimbledon. He left the tournament with the trophy.
It first showed up in Kobe Bryant’s short film in February 2011, then at Coachella, the VMAs and the Victoria’s Secret show. Retail came in June 2012, and the red one two years after that.
