REVIEW: Yeezy Season 1

Here at Jawnville we like to keep you guys fashionable. When my buddy Elliot, my only Villanova friend, posted a link to the Yeezy Season 1 collection at Barney’s, I knew it was my duty to bring the stylings of Mr. Kanye West here for your reading enjoyment. It’s also a bye week.

Now, the collection claims to be “A taste for luxury meets everyday ideas in Kanye West’s debut collection for Adidas Originals.”

Let’s take a look. Here’s the entire collection:

Quite fashionable stuff, right? Here are our favorites.

This “terry vest” looks like Mike Tyson’s design when he cut holes in towels and stuck his head through them. It’s all cotton and a steal at $545.

Bobo sweatpants that look like you scored them at a 1978 K-Mart. These vintage “French Terry Sweatpants” are only $585. I mean, they’re “French” so they have to worth that cash.

This is a must-have. Sleeveless, low-plunging, taupe thermals are all the rage among the male fashionistas. If you want instant street cred, this is the shirt for you.  At $350 street cred never came so cheap!

When you think fashion, you think Bill Belichick. This peasant-style piece features the famous Belichick 3/4 sleeves that are cut with those safety scissors we used in 2nd Grade. The workmanship here is unbelievable. The benefit of this shirt is that you may be mistaken for homeless and have complete strangers handing you money. This is the shirt that keeps on giving. It retails for $455 and 100% cotton.

Apparently, Kanye heard all your requests for generic, Starter-Jacket-Satin bomber jackets  that looks like they cost $12.75, but actually costs $2,080. It’s hard to find a jacket with an external shell that is 100% nylon with padding that is 100% polyester for under $2,500. They are basically giving this baby away. Remember when Top Gun made leather bombers popular in the 80’s? This should have the same effect on bombers.

You might think you can make these yourself by cutting down some sweatpants, but you’re fooling yourself. These are “raw-edged” shorts, not cut-offs. The safety-scissors cut look is a staple in this year’s collection. They also have the sleek, super-thick waistband AND a back pocket. At $415 a pair, you might as well buy two of them.

There you have it. I don’t know who is more out of their minds, Adidas, Kanye or Barney’s. Anyone who purchases these items should be forced to undergo an immediate psychological examination because they’re obviously bat-shit crazy.  I may have to reconsider buying anything Adidas after this collection.

This just goes to show that if you’re rich and popular, people will let you do anything you want. This stuff will be on clearance by Christmas. Somewhere, Diddy is laughing.

Thanks for reading and sharing.
