According to a notice of termination sent from West’s lawyer to Gap, West claimed that Gap failed to fulfill certain contractual obligations, such as distributing Yeezy product in stores by the second half of 2021 and creating Yeezy Gap-branded stores.</p> <p>In 2021, West struck a 10-year deal for Yeezy Gap with Gap Inc. and the option to renew after 5 years. West <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2022/business/collaborations/yeezy-instagram-account-gap-balenciaga-1203314032/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >launched</a> his Yeezy x Gap line for the first time at brick-and-mortar Gap stores on July 21 along with product from the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection. The collection became <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2022/business/retail/yeezy-gap-balenciaga-collab-store-list-1203315636/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >available in 45 stores</a> the following day.

Earlier this month, West was ordered to pay over <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2023/business/legal-news/kanye-west-yeezy-photoshoot-lawsuit-tax-liens-1203379671/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >$300,000</a> to Brooklyn, N.Y.-based creative Katelyn Mooney after failing to appear in court for a lawsuit that alleged that West and his Yeezy brand owed Mooney over $300,000 in damages and unpaid invoices related to a photo shoot she was hired to produce in September.</p> <p> <div class="admz " id="adm-inline-article-ad-2"> <div class="adma boomerang " data-device="Desktop" data-width="300"> <div style="min-width:50px;min-height:75px;" class="pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text" data-priority="10" > <div id="gpt-dsk-tab-fn-mid-article2-uid1" class=" adw-300 adh-250" data-is-adhesion-ad=""> <script type="application/javascript"> blogherads.adq.push(function () { blogherads .defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-dsk-tab-fn-mid-article2-uid1' ) .setTargeting( 'pos', ["mid","mid-article2","inbody2","btf","inbody"] ) .setSubAdUnitPath("ros\/mid-article2") .addSize([[300,250],[2,2],[3,3],[6,6],[620,366]]) .setClsOptimization("minsize") ; }); </script> </div> </div> </div> </div> </p> <p>In April, <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2023/business/legal-news/lawsuit-adidas-kanye-west-mislead-investors-1203456752/" >a law firm</a> filed a class action suit against Adidas for misleading investors, saying the German sportswear brand was aware of West’s controversial and racist behavior well before the brand ended its Yeezy partnership with him in <a href="https://footwearnews.com/2022/business/retail/adidas-ends-kanye-west-yeezy-deal-1203360924/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >October 2022</a>. Adidas cut ties with West and his Yeezy brand after the rapper-turned-designer made repeated antisemitic comments.</p> <p>Recently, however, West saw a <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/kanye-v-adidas-update-75m-yeezy-asset-freeze-overturned-judge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" >small legal win</a> in a suit against Adidas when a judge lifted Adidas’ order to freeze $75 million in assets for the Yeezy brand, due to a procedural mishap.</p> <section id="cb-c57d41695c3aa67d313f5dcf3ffeaa3d" class="canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink canvas-text-block--default " data-context='{"section":"permalink","name":"text_block"}'></section> </article> <footer class="l-article__footer"> <div class="c-subscribe--text-only"> <span class="c-content-text-only">Want to read more articles like this one?</span> <a href="https://w1.buysub.com/servlet/ConvertibleGateway?cds_mag_code=FTW&cds_page_id=276350">Subscribe to FN Today</a> </div> <ul class="c-tags"> <li> TAGS: </li> <li> <a href="https://footwearnews.com/t/kanye-west/" title="Kanye West">Kanye West</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://footwearnews.com/t/legal/" title="Legal">Legal</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://footwearnews.com/t/yeezy-gap/" title="Yeezy Gap">Yeezy Gap</a> </li> </ul> </footer>  <div class="stanzacal" data-width="100%" data-height="250px"></div> <div class="c-ad c-ad--ecommerce-promo-widget"> <div class="widget widget_fn-ecommerce-promo-widget"><section class="c-widget c--ecommerce-promo-widget"> <article class="c-card c-card--ecommerce-promo-widget"> <div class="c-card__thumbnail"> <a href="https://footwearnews.com/shop/sneakers-deals/adidas-black-friday-shoe-deals-2024-1234734665/"> <img src="https://footwearnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/adidas-stan-smith-lead-art.jpg?w=700&h=437&crop=1" class="" alt="woman wearing adidas stan smith shoes" /> <div class="c-card__icon"></div> </a> </div> <div class="c-card__body"> <span class="c-card__section"> <a href="https://footwearnews.com/c/shop/"> Shop </a> </span> <h3 class="c-card__title"> <a href="https://footwearnews.com/shop/sneakers-deals/adidas-black-friday-shoe-deals-2024-1234734665/"> adidas Black Friday Deals 2024: Shop Top Discounts on Your Favorite Shoe Styles </a> </h3> </div> </article> </section></div></div> <div class="c-ad c-ad--in-article-footer"> </div> <div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="https://footwearnews.com/business/legal-news/gap-sues-kanye-west-yeezy-gap-1203470425/" data-widget-id="AR_1"></div><div class="gcwp-carousel"></div> <div class="c-ad c-ad--subscribe"> <interaction data-token="56a27a19b7c8966526c3a07a" data-context="true" data-tags="" data-fallback="true"></interaction> </div> </section> </section>  <aside class="l-wrap__secondary"> <div class="admz " id="adm-right-rail-top"> <div class="adma boomerang " data-device="Desktop" data-width="300"> <div style="min-width:300px;min-height:275px;" class="pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div rail-ads-1 ad-text" data-priority="10" > <div id="div-gpt-fn-ros-rail-top-uid4" class=" adw-300 adh-600" data-is-adhesion-ad=""> <script type="application/javascript"> blogherads.adq.push(function () { blogherads .defineSlot( 'flexrec', 'div-gpt-fn-ros-rail-top-uid4' ) .setTargeting( 'pos', ["atf","rail-top","top","rail1"] ) .setTargeting( 'viewable', 'yes' ) .setSubAdUnitPath("ros\/rail-top") .addSize([[300,600],[300,250]]) ;
