YEEZY founder Ye is reportedly preparing to stage a runway show at the new YEEZY Los Angeles Flagship. According to Puck News, the prospective showcase would mark the label’s first runway appearance in more than four years.

According to sources close to the brand, the event is planned to take place at the recently opened retail space situated on the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Kingsley Drive, which debuted following a soft relaunch of the imprint this year.

The potential runway event could also serve as the official launch platform for the new Yeezy 800 sneaker. The footwear design, previewed by Ye on Instagram earlier this year, reportedly shares design cues with his previous output alongside Adidas. The model is rumored to launch ahead of the holiday season, following earlier reports that have detailed Ye’s retail partnership with JD Sports to stock Yeezy Slides and other footwear styles.
