Recently, Kanye released his YZY sunglasses and decided to keep the prices starting at $20 each. In a recent Forbes interview, Kanye revealed that he aims to achieve free clothing because “life is free.“When it’s sold in America, it’ll be made in America, and when it’s sold in China, it’ll be manufactured in China,” shared the Grammy winner. In fact, he declared that all products in the Yeezy store will be $20.

Interestingly, YZY sunglasses were first previewed by Kim Kardashian and North West as a part of the Yeezy-Gap partnership campaign. However, as per recent reports, the partnership between Kanye and GAP has hit the rocks, as the rapper is planning to sue the clothing brand.
