      YE had the 20$ item idea before he signed too GAP that was his original plan in signing with them and after signing they refused and wanted to try to elevate their brand perception to higher end streetwear, he was super vocal about it throughout his time working with them.

      It's kind of an awesome deal for a few people needing a specific look for themed events or cosplays. May not be highest long term quality, but better than literally gluing foam and/or leather to a compression sock that may be uncomfortable in the end. If I made these at home with the tools I already have I'd still pay more than $20 in materials.

      Businesses use associations with celebrities to market their products all the time. Those celebrities come and go, some quicker than others, but companies like Adidas will always find someone and make the most of it, until such time it's no longer beneficial for them. Big companies like Adidas outlast a great many such "celebrities", because most of the time, their fame is relatively short lived. The worlds of sport and celebrities are fickle, unforgiving and unpredictable.

    Hey guys, love the video. Im a sock expert been working on sock circular knitting machines as a mechanic technician and technical designer since 2015. I began working for stance sock back in 2012 -2019 and I can confidently tell you these are FAR from being a compression sock especially a medical grade compression sock. The YZY POD has more of the construction of a knitted shoe upper as opposed to an actual sock. A sock has a large latter stretch and recovery using 3 yarns - body yarn usually cotton, spandex and elastic. A knitted shoe needs to be rigid with almost no lateral movement or stretch and uses 2 yarns - body usually Nylon or Polyester plus elastic yarn. This is an extremely floppy glorified plastic bag made of Nylon or worst off polyester with no structure to it at best it's a middle ground between a sock and a knitted shoe if that. It also features a modified heel shape and reinforced yarn around the heel to try to prevent blow out but fails miserably at it. It also has what we call a "Roll-top" welt and it rolls over as you can clearly see. its a crappy money grab and a lot of people ate it up, and other brands are following suite. DONT FALL FOR IT !!

    I've seen it mentioned here already, but anybody who ordered for $200 could get their refund for the additional 180 they paid. Kanye had a pretty famous quote about wanting to sell clothes and shoes for $20 so everybody would have an opportunity to get them, and like you speculated it's generally agreed upon that the $200 was just to be a marketing thing, especially sense all the extra money was set aside and refunded right away(by request) after the discounted price was announced. Also even at $200, it did have some pretty good sales(for some reason), nothing compared to old yeezy's but because of that I'm inclined to think that it was always planned on being discounted and not dont just because of poor sales.

    Thx for the insight. I bought a pair of pods. Because i was curious about the sock shoes in general. Honestly, i have never been interested in sock shoes before Yzy pods. I think they are minimalistic functional fashion shoes. Wear them for few months and discard-type of shoes for 20💲

    There is no conspiracy lol. If you've watched at least 2 Kanye interviews you know how this dude operates. He doesn't want to be told what to do, and he wants to do what he wants, and when he doesn't wanna do anything with his own hands anymore. So he said what he said, got out of all of his contracts and got exactly what he wanted. He just no longer has the same resources he use to have, but otherwise he's doing what he wants with his things he likes the most, and everything else will fall as it may.

    It’s the same as how Tesla markets their minimalism as luxury. You have a reduced number of parts so you save a ton of money on tooling. The sock idea is great in that aspect since you don’t have to make a shoe every single half size and have the hassle of managing that inventory.
    I hate the design of the pods themselves, but applaud the cost engineering to get this to market as cheap and fast as possible.

And he knows that he has a strong fanbase; people just love him, me included. He also knows that some of those people who support him will keep doing it no matter what he does or says.
