What to Know About Kanye West's Sneaker & Clothing Brand

The first brand to collaborate with West was A Bathing Ape, creating the Dropout Bear Bapesta in 2006.

West then went on to collaborate with luxury brand Louis Vuitton in 2009, creating three different silhouettes named after notable people in his life.

From the period of 2009 until 2013, Kanye collaborated with Nike to release two silhouettes (three sneaker styles) before parting ways over disagreements about royalties.

Kanye turned to adidas, who agreed to provide royalties for new Yeezy styles and amalgamated in the introduction of the YEEZY Boost 750; becoming the ultimate sneaker hype in 2015.

Since the start of the ongoing YEEZY x Adidas collaboration, the sneakers have attracted much attention with every new release – particularly with limited quantity items such as the YEEZY Boost 350 V2 “Zebra,” which had a resell price of $1,600 before dropping back down to $550 after restocking.
