The Dropcast discusses some of the best releases this week before diving a bit deeper on the biggest stories in our world. Some of the sneakers discussed include YEEZY's polarizing Foam Runner which, at $75, turned out being a lot cheaper than we thought it would be — at least before resale.
We keep the Kanye West-centric conversation going later in the episode when talking about one of the most unprecedented partnerships to date: Gap and Kanye West. The 10-year deal coincides with Kanye West is creating his own industry in Wyoming, which includes making his own textiles on a farm and building factories to increase U.S. production. Uh...'Ye, are you hiring?
