[Update 13 Feb 2024] Coinciding with the recent release of ¥$’s (Ye and singer Ty Dolla $ign) Vultures 1 album, the peripheral merch has also been availed at yeezy.com.

Therein you can find the array of apparel as well as the Vultures 1 vinyl. All of the former going for only US$20, including the titular Yeezy Pods. Make haste, they might not be around for long.

[Update 29 Dec 2023] If you haven’t secured your YZY Pods during the pre-order period, you can now purchase a pair via sply.yeezy.com for US$200. Grab yours before they sell-out!

[Update 18 Dec 2023] Adding to last week’s news, the YZY Pods are available for pre-order now on sply.yeezy.com for US$200, although there isn’t an ETA about shipping at the time of writing.

The YZY Pods will arrive in a singular monochromatic black, and in three sizes: Size 1 caters to smaller feet (US 6 or below, EU 39), Size 2 covers the most common range (US 7-9.5, EU 40-43), and Size 3 accommodates larger sizes (US 10-13, EU 44-47).

Courtesy of Sole Retriever, news has dropped regarding FKA Kanye West’s latest footwear creation—the Yeezy Pod Socks, a pair as polarizing as its maker.

Ye teased them sporadically throughout the year, building anticipation and intrigue. Recently, fans were surprised by a premature release, with the Yeezy Pod Socks’ product page accidentally going live for approximately 20 minutes. This unforeseen event further fuelled the hype surrounding pair.

True to his maverick style, Kanye West continues to push the boundaries of footwear design. The Yeezy Pod Socks, crafted in Italy, feature a minimalist and modern design with a monochromatic black knit upper and matching rubber outsole. This seamless fusion of sock and shoe technology evokes memories of the Balenciaga Speed Sock Sneakers, which sparked a similar trend in the past.

Following the split from adidas, the Yeezy Pod Socks mark Ye’s first independent footwear release. This venture signifies a new chapter in his creative journey, allowing him to fully express his vision without external constraints—which before culminated to a tirade on Sway in the Morning in 2013.

Priced at US$100, the Yeezy Pod Socks will be exclusively available through Kanye West’s YEEZY website. While a firm release date has yet to be announced, speculation suggests they might coincide with his upcoming “Vultures” listening party in Miami. Stay tuned for more details and images in the coming days!
