With a lot to look forward to this summer, Kanye West has just added another thing for fans to get excited about — the release of his Yeezy Gap line. 

According to a report from Business of Fashion, Gap shared that the rapper’s fashion line is on track to launch by the end of June. More details are expected to be released during Gap’s Q1 2021 earnings call on May 27.

West, 43, first announced the collaboration on Twitter last June and provided a peek at the logo, which mimics the existing blue background and white text of the Gap logo but replaces the text with “YZY.”

“YEEZY AND GAP FORM PARTNERSHIP #WESTDAYEVER,” he tweeted at the time. 

A month later in an official statement announcing the partnership, Mark Breitbard, Global Head of Gap Brand, said, “We are excited to welcome Kanye back to the Gap family as a creative visionary, building on the aesthetic and success of his YEEZY brand and together defining a next-level retail partnership.”
