No One Showed Up For Kanye West’s 2XU Sportswear Launch
His brand YEEZY collaborated with Australian sportswear brand 2XU and there was a whole debut set up at a 2XU store in Sydney.
The collaboration was scheduled to begin at 9 AM on Saturday, 5th May. 2XU had staff come early to prepare for the crowd they thought would be all over the place and lining up to buy $550 neoprene leggings and the $500 bike shorts deemed “Suba tights” and “Scuba shots”. But after 45-minutes and customers failing to show, the store shut down the event.
“There’s been a change of direction from head office and unfortunately the event has been cancelled,” a representative toldFairfax Media.
These products had been hyped and publicised on social media by the rapper’s wife Kim Kardashian and a press release had stated that “fans will have to be quick, with a strictly limited number of pieces from the collection available to the public.”
Despite all this, by Saturday evening, the leggings and shorts were still very much available.
The hashtag #yeezyx2xu was only used 10 times on Instagram.

Really? Is that true? That’s sad! It shouldn’t have happened this way. Anyways, can you tell me from where I can find ALO yoga pants? I need to start working out in order to shed those kilos but I have to look for comfortable clothes before that.
