Kanye’s Opening 21 “Pablo” Shops Worldwide For Three Days Only

More people can finally get outfitted by Kanye West. The rapper, turned fashion designer, will make his Life Of Pablo gear available worldwide via 21 Pop-up shops. Kanye made the announcement last night on Twitter, eight days before the U.S. leg of his Saint Pablo Tour.  The shops will “pop-up” for only three days (this weekend only) in the United States, South Africa, England, Germany, and Singapore. The exact locations will be revealed on Kanye’s website 24 hours before the shops are expected to open.

Pop-up shops are very popular thanks to Mr. West, launching his first back in 2013 during the Yeezus tour. Temporary shops are quickly becoming the new way for artists to offer tour merchandise in cities where their tour is not going. Justin Bieber, Future, and Drake have all had impromptu shops open during their tours and they have been successful.

The most successful example being Kanye West himself, opening temporary shops in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris earlier this month. The rappers merch motivated lines upon lines of fans clamoring to get Pablo merchandise – reportedly bringing in one million dollars in 24 hours.

Bravado merchandise, a Universal Music Group-owned company partnering with Kanye West, coordinated the pop-up shops in only two weeks. The limited edition shirts hats and jackets, garnering city-specific text in Cali Thornhill DeWitt‘s gothic script, will be available. And undoubtedly, music from Kanye’s Life Of Pablo album with decorations related to the theme of the project will be playing. The decor will also incorporate lyrics from the project like “No More Parties in LA”, “This is a God Dream” and “I Feel Like Pablo” in some unknown fashion.

There are quantity limits on purchases to cut down on the secondary resale of the exclusive items which were previously being sold for almost double the purchase price directly.

The Pablo Pop-up shops are expected to be in multiple U.S. cities, specifically, Portland, Detroit, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Atlanta. For more details, addresses and times go to Kanye’s website for more information.
