BALENCIAGA SPORTY B TAXI BLOUSON IN BLACK

Background: The Balenciaga Sporty B Taxi Blouson In Black was first worn by Ye on 08/26/2021, during his DONDA Listening Party 3 at Soldier Field. Ye would then continue to wear the Blouson throughout the last months of 2021 (he'd have the Balenciaga logo removed after his meeting with Cohen on 10/19/2021) and then throughout all of 2022, using it as a main piece in his wardrobe. He'd then reference it for his initial Yeezy Season 10/X in 2023, and then would continue wearing it in 2024 and 2025 on and off. In February of 2024, he'd have the collar cut off and would then later reference the Blouson for the Yeezy Season X JC-05.
