Kanye West recently revealed the second drop for YEEZY x Gap. It is a sleek tonal black take on the YEEZY Gap Round Jacket made of recycled nylon.
It may look similar to the one worn by the rapper at a Balenciaga show in Paris. Kanye West was spotted wearing the outfit, with his face was fully covered. He hung out with James Harden, Lil Baby, Bella Hadid, and Lewis Hamilton at the Balenciaga Fall 2021 Couture event.

Kanye West and Gap deal
The Gap brand has been fighting a lot of identity crises in the last few years. Kanye West was the one who came to revive its identity.
Last month, the Gap brand teamed up with the singer and his fashion company Yeezy for a new clothing line called Yeezy Gap. Under Kanye West's creative direction, Yeezy’s design studio plans to make modern and elevated basics for men, women, and kids at affordable prices.
According to a person familiar with the negotiations, they signed a 10-year deal, and it will renew in five years. Gap remains hopeful as Yeezy Gap has the potential to generate $1 billion in annual sales.
Kanye West worked at Gap during his teenage years and has a keen interest in the brand. The deal between Gap and the 44-year-old will fulfill the latter's wish to make clothing for the public.
