Balenciaga Men's 2023 Cap In Faded Black

Background: Part of Balenciaga's look 1 that Ye would model for in Balenciaga’s Summer 2023 collection show, the cap was kept by Ye after the show and worn repeatedly in the days that followed. He'd then reference it for his own “2024” version, created for his ultimately canceled 2024 presidential run. Ye also kept the mouthguard from the look, and Balenciaga would cancel all items from the Look following Ye's actions during that time. The Cap itself features a small fit and distressing throughout, mainly on the front panels and brim. Documented wear by Ye: • 10/02/2022, during the Balenciaga show and after at Givenchy's Women's Wear Spring/Summer 2023 show • 10/03/2022, during his Yeezy Season 9 Show • 10/04/2022 in Paris with Gabriella Karefa-Johnson • 10/05/2022, leaving 10 Av. de la Grande Armée, Paris, France, likely for his flight back to Los Angeles after packing up Yeezy Season 9 • 10/06/2022, returning to Los Angeles with Mike The Ruler, and during his interview with Tucker Carlson, Mike would take a picture of the Cap while on the Plane with Ye. He'd then go to the Beverly Hills Hotel with Juliana Nalu. • 10/07/2022, he'd last wear the cap at North's Basketball game at the Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, California, after shaving his beard. This same day, Ye would tweet out a picture of his "2024" version • 10/08/2022, Ye posted an Instagram story with it on concrete along with WLM Longsleeves.
