The conclusive stretch of 2023 was an absolute banger for Kanye West fans, all thanks to his return to the sartorial game with the fresh launch of Yeezy Pods. While his musical resurgence had catered to similar enthusiasm, his tie-up results with Steven Smith after appointing him as the Head of Donda Industrial Design were surely a game-changer after his cut-offs with the German giant. When the pair made revelations for the new age of footgear with the Yeezy Pods, a new wave of fashion frenzy gushed in with their unique approach.

Shortly after swaying the generation with the Yeezy fever, Steven Smith has come forth with lessons in fashion etiquette 101 and to especially reveal his cardinal-style sin.

Fashion and flawless fashion are two different things that follow stringent protocols. However, in the daily sport of display, these rules frequently miss the nod, and styling missteps become taken for granted. One of these grave fashion cringes, revealed by Steven Smith to Green Girl in Kanyesposts’s YZY POD-CAST on being asked about his “biggest faux pas” is “front tuck tees”. Smith said, “I’d rather have a front f*ck rather than a front tuck”. 

On hearing the same, Green Girl issued a cautionary message about refraining from sporting “front tuck tees in front of Steven”. From there onwards, the designer’s unleashing of his A1 humor was almost inevitable. While his words did roll laughter thrills faster than a stand-up comedy, a special warning came for the fans purchasing the ‘Vultures’ merchandise as well. The post on Instagram read, “Do not tuck your Vultures Merch into your pants no matter how baggy the tee is or he’ll come for you!”.

‘Vultures’ merchandise hype hits a benchmark

Even though the dilly-dallies of the ‘Vultures’ drop is still riding on an unprecedented delay with its recent put-off for the launch, the fanaticism around the album is far from subsiding. The best testament to this Yefanatics post a day ago revealing Vince Okerman’s recent purchase of a ‘Vultures’ t-shirt by Yefanatics. The post even cued that it is one of the fast sellers since the “last units are running out”.

The t-shirt had the famous ¥$” embellishment, like the record symbol. Considering that the unofficial t-shirts issued by fans are drawing the attention of high-profile artists, one can only imagine the traffic the original merchandise is evoking. However, one thing to remain rest assured is that Steven Smith will “come for you” if one showcases a “front tuck tee” whether it be the official or unofficial merchandise.
