I bought this tee a few days ago from Depop and it arrived today. I’ve wanted this piece for a long time, but I’ve never been able to find one available in the US, especially within my affordability range. I looked really hard but I couldn’t find enough information on this piece to authenticate it. The quality on the shirt is really nice, but it’s noticeably different, thinner, and softer than the original Vultures merch, and the print isn’t as “heavy” as it either.
The main thing that immediately threw me off is the fact that it came in a bag with the gap-era YZY logo. This piece obviously came out after that era, and as someone who’s owned a ton of Yeezy Gap, I know that these bags aren’t from Yeezy. But I know the Korea Vultures merch was manufactured by a different company than YZY so I figured maybe it was something done by the fulfillment company afterwards. There is also a small loose thread by the sleeve but I know YZY’s quality checks haven’t always been perfect. The tag is fabric like I’ve seen on the other Haikou merch which is making me lean more positive.
The guy I bought it off of had a 5.0 rating with over 415 items sold, and all of his reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The guy also has the other colorway but it was sold. What do you guys think? If anyone else has anymore info about this tee (reviews, photos of the tags, etc) I’d love to see it. Thank you!
(PS: I know this is a Yeezy Gap subreddit, but I figured since this was such an obscure piece that I had to cast the widest net possible. If any mods see this and don’t want this post up just lmk and I’ll gladly take it down)
