Tuesday night’s Donda 2 premiere turned out to be as chaotic as Kanye West’s behavior of late, as sound issues plagued the performance and the album failed to release as scheduled. Merchandising isn’t an issue, however, as a small run of black apparel is up for picking right on time.
A Donda 2 hoodie, cropped T-shirt, and balaclava are all up for pre-order through West’s website, with delivery scheduled in six to eight weeks. All three products are made in the U.S.A., which goes some way in explaining $200 for a hoodie and $100 for a tee each with a lit match up front and tonal “2” on the rear. More comical is the $60 asking price for a plain black balaclava. It’ll at least help you meet mask regulations, though, just as West was about the only one to do so at the Super Bowl.
