The Yeezy Gap Cloud Jacket is the inaugural item dropped in the highly anticipated Yeezy Gap collaboration that features designs from rap superstar Kanye West. The Yeezy Gap Cloud Jacket is a new take on the classic puffer jacket with an amorphous design that pops in its electric blue color. The jacket features Kanye West's streetwear style and signature branding with the YZY logo on the tag.
The Yeezy Gap Cloud Jacket, which sold out in seconds online, is the result of a 10-year deal between Kanye West and Gap. A lengthy PR campaign preceded its launch with teasers of the jacket appearing on buildings in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Adding to the hype, the jacket was released on June 8th, Kanye West's birthday. The Yeezy Gap Cloud Jacket is available for preorder from the Gap website.
