The Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga Collection Has Arrived: Here’s How to Get Your Hands on the Best Pieces Online
We got a taste for what the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection would look like when Kanye West and the fashion house’s creative director Demna Gvasalia released eight preemptive pieces close to three months ago — an amuse-bouche, if you will. Now, all 28 ensembles have officially arrived and they’re selling out as quickly as expected.
The new collection is a continuation of West and Gvasalia’s shared vision, fusing the creatives’ runway-ready designs with Gap’s utilitarian and timeless style. The lineup includes couture-like pieces such as body-hugging jumpsuits and face-obscuring masks. But a majority of the capsule is made up of wardrobe essentials like denim jackets and hoodies, elevated with thoughtful proportions and subtle detailing that give all the pieces an extra oomph.
More from Variety
For the first time ever, Gap Yeezy will be available to shop at brick-and-mortar stores. Select pieces can be found at select Gap stores starting July 21 at 10 a.m. ET, including at the brand’s flagship in Time’s Square.
If you can’t make it in person, worry not: the collection is available to pre-order online at Balenciaga, in addition to resale sites such as Farfetch, MyTherese and LuisaViaRoma. Shop the best pieces below before they sell out:
Dove Shrunken Hoodie
This basic, very luxe hoodie is considered a headlining piece from the collection. Made out of heavy fleece, it features an oversized fit and dropped shoulders for an effortlessly chic silhouette. The Gap logo is imprinted on the front, with a printed dove on the back to symbolize “a message of hope for the future,” per Yeezy Gap.
Dove Fleece Tee
Another staple piece is the Dove Flee tee, a breezier counterpart to the lineup’s hoodie. The t-shirt is cut for a boxy fit wit a crew neck, imprinted with the same Gap logo and Dove illustration on the back.
Sateen Cargo Pants
Utilitarian design is seen in these cargo-like pants, featuring straight legs, concealed front fastening and two side slash pockets, elevated by its sateen construction.
Long Sleeve Second Skin
It isn’t a Balenciaga collection without a body-hugging ensemble. Made from stretchy fabric (a mix of polyester and elastane), this crewneck style fits closely to the skin, in both beige and black hues, featuring a seamless pocket on the chest.
Mock Neck Pullover
Cozy up in this parka-like hoodie, made out of nylon stretch ciré. You can wear it as a simple outer layer for a basic fit, but a high neck and puffed sleeves give it a runway-ready look.
