Kanye then shared his plans to open Yeezy stores in Atlanta. “The Vision will be realized," he wrote in a post. "Let’s start with stores in Atlanta.”
He also shared snippets of a conversation he had with Gap executives. “This is Spartan, this is not celebrity marketing, this is not a collaboration, this is a life mission,” he said. “This is bigger than us. We shouldn’t argue amongst ourselves. But I’m saying I have to go pull that sword out the stone. You either believe me or I’m going to show you. I can either show you facing this way [away from the GAP executives] or facing this way [towards them]. But you’re going to see it.”
Designer Virgil Abloh also came up in the conversation. “You really have to give me the position to Ye and do what I’m thinking or I’m going to have to do what I’m thinking somewhere else because one thing I’ve learned from Virgil is that if something’s killing me, it’s actually killing me,” he said.
