Yeezy Season (stylized as YZY SZN) is a runway fashion line created by Yeezy.

Yeezy Season 1 was a collaboration with Adidas. However, all garments were produced independently, mostly of which by Los Angeles Apparel, with only shoes being produced by Adidas.2

Yeezy Season 2 debuted at New York Fashion Week on September 15, 2015.5 Influenced by Japanese workwear, the collection was praised for strong silhouettes and diverse casting.6

Yeezy Season 3 debuted in Madison Square Garden on February 12, 2016.7 The collection debuted with West's The Life of Pablo album and was host to many viral moments, including having fellow rappers Lil Yachty and Young Thug being some of the models.8

Yeezy Season 4 debuted at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park in New York City, and was predominantly a womenswear collection with appearances from Sofia Richie, Teyana Taylor and Chanel Iman.9

Yeezy Season 5 debuted at Pier 59 in New York City during New York Fashion Week. The collection introduced new graphical references and sportswear attires, a departure from the oversized silhouettes and post-apocalyptic influences of previous ranges. The much anticipated Calabasas-branded items were debuted, along with a new pair of retro-inspired chunky runners. The three stripes logo was featured on several pieces.10

Yeezy Season 6, unlike other seasons, opted out of a runaway show for its debut. Instead, Kim Kardashian unveiled the collection on December 5, 2017, through a series of photos on social media. The collection featured jackets, hoodies, shorts, sweats, trench coats, and more.11

Yeezy Season 7 also had Kardashian as the main model, sporting a neon color palette.12

Yeezy Season 8 debuted in 2020 at Paris Fashion Week. The show featured raw, textured garments with a neutral color palette, and materials such as wool from West's Wyoming ranch were used.13

Yeezy Season 9 debuted at Paris Fashion Week on October 3, 2022, and was streamed on YouTube.14 The collection featured oversized ponchos, 3D printed boots and a controversial shirt with Pope John Paul II on the front and a White Lives Matter print on the back, worn by multiple models including Selah Marley.1516 Naomi Campbell walked on the runway at the fashion show, soundtracked by an unreleased Kanye West song with James Blake titled "Always", in reference to the deceased Virgil Abloh. West stated: "There's just people. From the same planet. And sometimes, in high school, it feels like we don't fit in. And in a situation like this, we have the opportunity to come together to express who we are."14

Yeezy Season X and its Casting Showcase (YZY Free) debuted at 10 p.m. on May 1, 2023 in Los Angeles at 8025 Melrose Avenue.17 The Yeezy Season was executive produced by Pur3 Branding and both its founders. Pur3 Branding–which is a subsidiary of Pur3 Inc, a Los Angeles-based clothing company–was in charge of developing and manufacturing.

The show hosted many male and female models with shaved heads wearing skin-tight white T-shirts and black stockings. Part of the show involved the models standing at attention and placing candles on a center table. The T-shirts were later given out to the public.17 West was notably absent, leaving after the initial setup of the event, and wearing a retro Manchester United jersey.18

Some samples of pieces from Yeezy Season 10 have surfaced online via collectors, and was confirmed on Twitter on April 3, 2025, when West replied to a fan stating "YEEZY SEASON 10   with [sic] SHAYNE OLIVER."19 On May 13, West posted a photo of a black deodorant stick with the caption "YZYSZNX MRCH3125 DRDRNT".20

On May 21, West released the single "Alive" featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again. West first released the song on Instagram, with the caption "ALIVE YE X NBA YoungBoy YZY SZN 10," likely implying the song was going to be a part of Yeezy Season 10.2122 On May 23, West posted a photo on Twitter of him dressed up in all black clothes with the caption "THIS THAT NEW SEASON 10."23 During his July 12 concert in Shanghai, West was seen wearing a shirt featuring the text "SZN X." Several pieces from SEASON X unveiling are now on the official Yeezy website such as the; HD-10, WB-03 and the PD-01 also known as the Yeezy Pods. The Yeezy website was shut down on February 11, 2025 and was reinstated on August 9, 2025.

Adidas Yeezy

Adidas Yeezy (or just Yeezy) was a fashion collaboration between Yeezy and the German sportswear company Adidas. Announced in February 2015, its first wave of clothing releasing that same year. Adidas Yeezy was terminated in October 2022 immediately after West had made antisemitic remarks through various media outlets.2425

Adidas Yeezy included sneakers, shirts, jackets, track pants, socks, slides, lingerie and slippers. It was described as being the "most influential sneakers" by GQ in 2016 and its popular rise as being "one of the great retail stories of the century" by Forbes in 2020.26

Yeezy Gap

Yeezy Gap (stylized as YEEZY GAP or YZY GAP) was a fashion collaboration between Yeezy and the American clothing company Gap announced in June 2020, with its first wave of clothing releasing a year later in June 2021. In January 2022 the brand announced its collaboration with luxury fashion house Balenciaga, with the first collection from that line releasing the following month. Yeezy Gap was terminated two years after its announcement in September 2022 after a series of disagreements between West and Gap executives.27

Yeezy Gap was characterized by minimalist and utilitarian design, echoing previous Yeezy collections designed by West.28 It consisted of "elevated" basic clothing, including hoodies, tracksuits, and jackets. The line was met with generally positive critical and commercial reception, although some criticized the manner in which it was released.29

Yeezy.com

Following West's antisemitic remarks in late 2022, Yeezy's brand's Gap and Adidas collaborations were terminated.3 During this time, West went on multiple podcasts doing interviews, blaming Gap and Adidas for not reaching the affordable price points he wanted.30 On December 13, 2023, he named Gosha Rubchinskiy as Head of Design at Yeezy via X.31 On December 15, 2023, the Yeezy Pods, a sock-shoe hybrid, and a small selection of other items were available on West's website, Yeezy.com for varying prices, with the Yeezy Pods retailing for US$200.32 Then, on February 11, 2024, the price of Yeezy Pods were lowered to US$20, with refunds of US$180 being issued to people who bought them for the original price.3334 Later that day, West posted a text message from collaborator and political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos on Instagram, stating that West sold 260,000 pairs of Pods.30

Following this, on February 22, 2024, West released several items from his terminated Yeezy Gap collaboration on the Yeezy.com website exclusively in Europe and Asia, seemingly without permission from Gap. The items were sold for US$20, lower than typical Yeezy Gap prices.35 On the same day, he premiered a Super Bowl advertisement for the website, which was a low budget phone recording of West speaking in his car.36

Several items available for purchase from February 7 to 9, 2025, including a swastika t-shirt (HH-01), several collaborations with Sean John (FP-01), and shirts reading "White Lives Matter" (WLM-01 and WLM-02) source ↗

On February 7, 2025, following West sharing a controversial string of posts on Twitter, many of which were deemed as homophobic, ableist, and misogynistic.37 Multiple new clothing items were released onto the website, including a T-shirt collaboration with the brand Sean John, owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs,38 an infamous music mogul who was recently charged with sex trafficking, and a T-shirt with the text "White Lives Matter," similar to the one showcased during Yeezy Season 9.39 The HD-01 series of hoodies shares a design with a cover used for West's unreleased 2015 album So Help Me God. However, it is more likely a reference to a leaked video where Combs assaulted his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura who was wearing a hoodie with the same design.40

On February 10, 2025, all items were removed from the Yeezy website, and a $20 white shirt featuring a Nazi swastika—which West had previously showcased on social media—was put up for sale as the only available product. This came directly after another ad for Yeezy featuring West recording himself speaking aired during Super Bowl LIX on four local Fox stations (network-owned KTTV in Los Angeles, WTXF-TV in Philadelphia and WAGA-TV in Atlanta, as well as KTVI in St. Louis affiliate), leading millions of viewers to visit the website and be witness to it.414243 The shirt was titled "HH-01," presumably intended as an antisemitic dog whistle for the phrase "Heil Hitler."4445 On February 11, the website went offline. Shopify, the e-commerce company that was used by Yeezy.com, told CBS MoneyWatch, "this merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms, so we removed them from Shopify."46 According to West, the actions taken by Shopify did not negatively impact his sales, as he claims to have made US$40 million between all his businesses after uploading the "HH-01" shirt.47 Yeezy.com was brought back online on February 13, with a scribbled message reading "YEEZY STORES COMING SOON", followed by a drawing of a heart.48

On July 10, a Chinese version of the website's Yeezy Supply section was made available to customers who purchased tickets to West's July 12 concert in Shanghai.49 The site was fully brought back online on August 9, 2025.50

Clothing

Clothing on the website is designed by either West himself, Gosha Rubchinskiy, or Mowalola Ogunlesi.31 The clothing items are produced by Los Angeles Apparel, a company owned by longtime friend of West and CEO of Yeezy, Dov Charney.51 Items include t-shirts, hoodies, windbreakers, trench coats, shorts, joggers, footwear, and socks. All items are named with an abbreviation denoting the item type followed by a number denoting the variant, with hoodies being HD-01/HD-02, and t-shirts being TS-01/TS-02.

A variety of shoes are sold on the Yeezy site, with notable footwear including the BL-01s, a lace-less pair of sneakers; the SL-01s and SL-02s, EVA-foam shoes resembling slippers; the SL-03s, a pair of boots; the YS-01s, a pair of EVA-foam slides previously sold under the Adidas-Yeezy partnership as the 'Yeezy Slides'; and the HL-01, HL-02, and HL-03 high-heeled shoes.

Record label

Yeezy Record Label, LLC52 (doing business as YZY) is West's main record label. His collaborative albums, Vultures 1 and Vultures 2, were released under YZY in 2024.5354 West's visual album Bully V1, as well as the 2025 rerelease of his eleventh studio album Donda 2, were also released through YZY in 2025. The Bully track titled "Beauty and the Beast" was briefly available on the website, but was later taken down (along with all other items) in favor of the "HH-01" shirt.555657 The final version of Bully also released through YZY alongside Gamma58 on March 28, 2026.

Before YZY, West had announced plans for a record label and streaming service named Yeezy Sound (stylized as YZY SND) in July 2020, consisting of Abstract Mindstate, Clipse, Cyhi the Prynce, the Wrldfms Tony Williams, West's daughter North, and KayCyy.59 The only artists to release music through the label were Abstract Mindstate, who released their sixth studio album, Dreams Still Inspire (2021), through it.60 Though he has no releases with Yeezy Sound, KayCyy stated in an August 2021 interview with Complex that he was the first artist to be signed to the label.61

Yews

Yews (stylized as YEWS or yews.news) was a news website created by Yeezy, which launched on December 13, 2023, with the domain yews.news.64 West had previously trademarked the name "Yews" for several products and services in October 2023, including clothing, music, beauty products, and general entertainment.65 The site would first launch as a mobile exclusive on December 13, with two menus dividing news coverage into "10PM" and "3PM" sections, with an "8PM" section later added on. Topics covered by Yews include sports, politics, fashion, pop culture, and West himself.66 Each story is accompanied by an illustration, usually religious in nature.67

On May 16, 2024, following Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos's termination from Yeezy,6869 Yews was shut down. However, following his return, Yews was reinstated in February with the new domain yews.live.70b The website has been inactive since March 27, 2025.

Yeezy Money

Yeezy Money (stylized as YZY MNY) is a cryptocurrency founded by West and built on the Solana blockchain. It was announced via X on August 20, 2026, with a video of West stating "The official Yeezy token just dropped."71 Yeezy Money was released alongside a crypto payment processor, "Ye Pay", and the YZY Card for spending YZY and USDC.72 YZY briefly hit a US$3 billion market cap the day it released,73 before crashing to US$140 million in the following hours.74

Unfinished projects

Yeezy app

In April 2024, fter rumors spread that West wanted to create a Yeezy mobile application incorporating music, clothing, and news, Yeezy acquired two startups, YZY VSN (Yeezy Vision) and YZY App, both of which are apps developed by fans competing for West's attention. Both campaigns were conducted on social media. YZY VSN was a team of 30+ people from around the world, including 16 designers, 8 developers, and 10 marketers (some of whom were minors). After purchasing both companies for an undisclosed sum, West planned to merge them into an official YZY application for mobile devices. The founder of the YZY VSN startup, Massimo Venezia, was hired as Software Project Lead at Yeezy.75

On May 1, 2024, the development team presented a finished version of the app to West and Yeezy's Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos. Despite completing the project, the employees were reportedly not compensated for their work, prompting YZY VSN developer Shemar DaCosta, along with seven other individuals, including minors, to file a lawsuit. The lawsuit seeks damages for unpaid wages, overtime pay, and emotional distress.7677 West's wife, Bianca Censori, allegedly sent an employee a file-sharing link containing explicit sexual content. These materials were allegedly accessible to minors working on the app, exposing them to inappropriate content during their development on the project.7678 Yiannopoulos stated on behalf of Censori that the allegations were false and misleading.79 Following this, there have been no announcements regarding the future of the project.

Yeezy Porn

Yeezy Porn was announced by West on April 24, 2024, a pornography venture with a video depicting a blank white screen with the text "YEEZY PORN IS CUMMING 4 24 24."80 This announcement garnered mostly negative reactions from West's fanbase and was thought to be cancelled. In February 2025, West replied to a tweet inquiring about the venture with the statement "it's still cumming".81 In April 2025, West posted a piece by pornography artist Devin Dickie with the statement "Who is the artist that made this I want to work with them at YZYPRN".82
