Where Can You Get the Yeezus Stuff the Kardashians Wear? One Woman’s Quest
I’m not a hard-core Keeping Up With the Kardashians watcher, but you best believe that when I do catch an episode, my senses are finally tuned to what the krew is wearing. Whatever your opinions on Kim, Khloe, Kendall, and Co., it’s hard to argue the sisters don’t have a serious sense of style. I’ve found myself caught up frequently enough in wondering exactly what they’re wearing to do more than my fair share of digging (highlights include info on the black aviators the entire family has worn and specific details on the flattering high-waisted leggings Kendall’s been living in lately). The latest items to pique my admittedly obsessive interest? All that Yeezus gear.
QUIZ: Which Kardashian-Jenner Is Your Style Spirit Animal?
I’m assuming the pieces in the girls’ closets were all gifts from Kanye and Kim. But these perfect rock tees, crewneck sweatshirts, and glossy satin bombers have become such perfect building blocks for the laid-back-luxe look the entire family has perfected that I need to know if I can get some of that outfit-making magic for myself.
As someone who’s never attended a Kanye West concert, and doesn’t foresee one popping up on my future calendar, I felt mostly out of luck…unless. What if the tour or general house-of-Kanye branding machine had an online shop where you could buy tour gear without actually being at a show? This is the fashion rabbit hole that exists when you really want something. A quick web search revealed that Pacsun had a deal that allowed them to sell select styles of the official tour pieces back in 2013. Years later, there’s no longer a trace on the brand’s site (and I’m awaiting comment to find out whether, maybe, this sort of situation might happen again in the future), but if you really want something, eBay probably has your answer.
Items that were from the Pacsun run are marked up to reflect the limited supply—like this tee currently going for a little under $100—while plenty of other lookalikes have popped up (on Etsy too). To tell the difference, note the amount available and pay attention to the interior tag. A true re-seller will likely only have one up for grabs, whereas newly produced quantities have every size available. The tags for the former are also white squares and marked “Yeezus tour.”

If you’re after a jacket like the one Kendall’s worn a lot recently, things are trickier. The vast majority available on the auction site appear to be inauthentic (the tip-off: They’re shipping from somewhere like Hong Kong or Korea). You can buy the same jacket, sans Yeezus markings, from Alpha Industries, but if you have to have the official style, there’s a size medium that’s waiting for a spot in your closet. The listing explains it came from the tour’s New York City pop-up shop and is one of 26 made, necessitating a high price tag: $2,500. No one ever said being a Kardashian was cheap.
I’m still thinking about making a purchase, but will continue to keep an eagle-eye on everything fashionable coming out of the Kardashian universe (especially when it’s affordable—I’m still in awe over Kylie’s $92 dress).
