Turns out Yeezy Season 2 will be season-less. Even though a few weeks ago we shared intel that Kanye West's second Yeezy collection was supposed to arrive in stores this July (A.P.C. stores, to be exact), West seems to have made a change in plans. (Note: not a first for him.)

In an email sent to retailers from Yeezy's new president Pete Fox, it was revealed that Yeezy Season 2 will actually not arrive on shelves this summer. In Fox's words, "[Yeezy Season 2] will not be produced in its entirety or launched following a traditional fashion calendar." Rather, the collection will be dropping intermittently in smaller groups throughout the year. How many pieces from the line and which ones will actually be produced remains to be seen, but many reports have previously indicated the at the very least, they will be less expensive than West's divisive Season 1 offerings.

That's the bad news. The good news, though, is that Season 2 footwear will see the light of day. The new styles, which will not be produced with Adidas and will be separate from the Yeezy Boost line, are set to drop on June 6th. Because if there's one thing Kanye West knows how to do well, it's sell some shoes.
