Ye, the music artist and designer formerly known as Kanye West, is set to return to the runway on Wednesday night with the Season 01 presentation of his fashion brand Yeezy, marking its first major runway show in more than four years.

The show is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. at Droam 1, Yeezy’s new flagship at 4317 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.

The event comes as Yeezy continues efforts to rebuild its business following the termination of its multibillion-dollar Adidas partnership in October 2022 amid controversy over Ye’s antisemitic remarks and other inflammatory statements. The brand’s last major runway presentation, Yeezy Season 9, was held in Paris earlier that month. Ye subsequently apologized for his comments in a full-page advertisement published in The Wall Street Journal in January 2026.

In the advertisement, titled “To Those I’ve Hurt,” Ye attributed his past behavior to bipolar disorder, which he linked to a brain injury sustained in a 2002 car accident that he said went undiagnosed until 2023. “The deeper injury, the one inside my skull, went unnoticed,” he wrote. He also acknowledged that his diagnosis did not excuse his actions.

Earlier this year, Yeezy began its relaunch with wardrobe essentials sold directly through its website. The brand has since expanded its distribution through JD Sports, which began stocking independent Yeezy footwear in August.

As previously reported by WWD, Yeezy is preparing to release two new footwear models in December: the Yeezy 800 sneaker and the AB-01 Alpha boot. The Yeezy 800 has been previewed in an all-black “Stealth” colorway featuring a mesh base and angular overlays, while the AB-01 is a military-inspired lace-up boot. Ye has also teased additional Yeezy 800 colorways in pastel blue, green and yellow, although their release remains unconfirmed. Exact launch dates and pricing have yet to be announced.
