Considered by many to be among the most influential forces in contemporary fashion-especially at the intersection of fashion and streetwear-Kanye’s style has been dissected and debated for years, with a fine tooth comb picking out the subtle changes and details.Īt the height of his influence-arguably in the mid-2010s-shoes that were sitting on shelves for weeks would sell out after pictures emerged of Kanye wearing them.

He’s spotted along the walkway regularly and his lyrics (along with Jay-Z’s) are shifting in this direction where every other line name-drops a designer.
