Yeezy Gap: Ye, Gap, and Balenciaga
What is Yeezy Gap?
Yeezy Gap is a clothing line co-created by Kanye West (Ye) and Gap, an American clothing company based in San Francisco that was founded in 1969. The partnership was announced in June 2020 as a 10-year deal, with an option to renew after five years. The first product, a blue, zipperless puffer jacket made from recycled nylon, was released on June 8, 2021. In September 2022, Ye terminated the agreement, accusing Gap of failing to meet its terms, and the collaboration came to an end.
What is Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga?
It is a line Ye designed with Demna, Balenciaga’s creative director at the time (he took on the role in 2015). The launch of the first eight pieces on February 23, 2022, coincided with Ye’s “Donda 2” performance in Miami. Press materials described a shared vision of utilitarian design, and the recurring dove motif was said to symbolize “unnamed hope for the future.” According to Complex, citing The New York Times, the line was covered by a separate agreement and was unaffected by the termination of the Yeezy Gap deal.

According to Complex, the first pieces were intended as a tribute to Gap’s timeless American classics, and Highsnobiety’s preview lists the No Seam Tee as a seamless T-shirt.

A loose fit is a hallmark of this line. Hypebae wrote that it includes Ye’s signature oversized T-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants; FashionUnited described the Dove Hoodie as roomy and slightly cropped; and according to V Magazine, T-shirts from the Engineered by Balenciaga line were deliberately made oversized.
