SATEEN PULL ON STRAIGHT LEG PANT
2021-2022 - 537277 - $120UnreleasedBackground: First starting out as a Denim Pant being intended for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert Merch seen in Merch Mockups by Pierre Louis Auvray.
The YZY GAP Sateen Pull On Straight Leg Pant was initially planned for release in the Fall of 2022 as a part of the Holiday 2022 collection. Due to controversies surrounding Ye at the time, the collection was cancelled and first appeared in China on Gap's Toaboa Account on 10/27/2022, 2 days after Gap shut down yeezygap.com. (At one point, you could call Gap and ask to buy the SKU, and they would let you buy it, which is where the official retail prices come from)
A Ye fanpage, @dondasglory, had seen this and tweeted about it, which caused Gap to take everything off Taobao. Gap would then wait a few months to release the collection on the Chinese App, Nice, through mystery boxes, and would begin slowly liquidating their stock to third parties. Yeezy would get some of this stock and put it up on yeezy.com for $20 for non-US customers; only the Black color was sold on yeezy.com. (Yeezy Gap items were not sold in the US, most likely due to possible legal issues)
The fit is baggy, and they feature two side pockets, with an additional pocket further down on the right leg.
