HOODIE (Perfect Hoodie)

2019 - 2021 - 701377 - $90Released
Background: The YZY GAP Hoodie was the retail result of years of research and development. It came in six colorways: Black, Blue, Red, Purple, Brown, and Light Brown, each retailing for $90. Subsequent price drops brought this price to $80 and then $60 when Ye terminated his deal. The initial release was followed by a restock of Black and Blue colors, coinciding with the "Heaven and Hell" music video. The music video was both a visual for the song as well as a commercial for the hoodies (styled by Ras Bartram), which Gap ran during the NCAA championship on ESPN on January 11th, 2022. Ye later revealed this led to over $14 million in sales of the hoodie in a discussion with Gap’s Board ("We sold 14 million hoodies at $80 with no logo on it, off of one commercial and never ran the commercial again, that's insane"). This restock also included updated stock images as opposed to the original images, which were sample hoodies scanned by Gentle Giant Studios on November 11th, 2020 (Gentle Giant Studios wanted 10k to make each model scan website-ready). The Hoodie would also be used in the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga Chapter 1 Ad. The Hoodies releases ended with a final clear-out drop, which had a messy stock of Black Redyes of all the other colors. The Perfect Hoodie later went on to be worn by multiple celebrities, from Justin Bieber to Hayden Christensen (Becoming one of his favorite hoodies that he still wears now). The kids' version would be worn by Saint West. Compared to sample versions, the release version has a much more true-to-size fit.
