Yeezy Makes Its Runway Return in Los Angeles With Season 01 Presentation

Ye, the artist, designer and cultural figure formerly known as Kanye West, is making a highly anticipated return to the runway with the Season 01 presentation of his fashion label, Yeezy. The Los Angeles showcase marks the brand’s first major runway presentation in more than four years.

Scheduled for 8 p.m., November 4, the event will take place at Droam 1, Yeezy’s newly opened flagship location at 4317 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. The brand’s last major runway show was Yeezy Season 9, presented in Paris in October 2022.

The runway return comes as Yeezy continues to rebuild its fashion and footwear business. Earlier this year, the brand began its relaunch by introducing wardrobe essentials sold directly through its official website. Its distribution network has since expanded, with JD Sports beginning to carry select Yeezy footwear in August.

Looking ahead, Yeezy is preparing to introduce two new footwear silhouettes in December: the Yeezy 800 sneaker and the AB-01 Alpha boot. The Yeezy 800 has been previewed in an all-black “Stealth” colorway, featuring a mesh construction and angular overlays. Meanwhile, the AB-01 takes inspiration from military footwear, incorporating a rugged lace-up design.

Ye has also offered previews of additional Yeezy 800 colorways in pastel blue, green and yellow, although their availability has yet to be confirmed. Official release dates and retail pricing for the upcoming footwear styles have not been announced.

With its latest runway presentation and expanding product lineup, Yeezy is continuing its push to reestablish its presence in the global fashion and sneaker markets.
