After debuting at New York Fashion Week in February, the pricing for Kanye West's first collection with adidas, Yeezy Season 1, has leaked online.

In his recent interviews, the Chicago emcee discussed the high price of today's fashion.

"If I had the opportunity to design for Louis Vuitton now, I wouldn't. Because the prices [are] just too extreme," he said on Los Angeles' Power 106. "And I don't want to use my message to have kids saving up that much, you know, to be part of what the ideas are. You know, that's the problem to me with luxury.

"I don't agree with everything that H&M and Zara does, but one thing that's good is they were able to break that idea that creativity and things you want have to cost, like, a million dollars."

Similarly, West said clothing prices should be less expensive and more affordable, while sitting down with Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club."

"In clothing right now, there's a real separatism. There are $5,000 sweatshirts, so now everyone's spending that money, showing up at the club," he said. "It's like, we need to spend that money on our families and stuff.

"It's really difficult to get those price points, like the Zara and H&M price points, if you don't got the factories," he continued. "Those materials are all a game that factories play, too. If silk is in style, silk is more expensive from the factories. You can get everything for a better price. It's all in how you negotiate with the factories. My end goal 10 years from now would be have everything at a Zara level."

However, according to the "early pricing information" via Highsnobiety, the "All Day" rapper's latest design costs nothing like the H&M and Zara prices he recently mentioned.

For instance, the "entry level clothing goods" like hoodies and sweatshirts will be priced around €390, which is converted to $420 USD.

The knitwear will begin at €800 (around $870 USD), with some costing as much as €1,500 ($1,630 USD).

The outwear, which is undoubtedly the most expensive part of Yeezy Season 1, will start at around €1,600 ($1,740 USD) and reach a staggering €3,500 ($3,800 USD).

While Yeezy 750 Boost was released for $350, the Duck Boot will cost €450 ($490 USD); the low-top knit sneaker, officially called Yeezy 350 Boost, will retail for €190 ($206 USD).

Also, there will be a canvas backpack for €450 ($490 USD), and a leather version is set at €650 ($706 USD). A leather bag will cost €800 ($870 USD).

The official release date of Kanye West x adidas Yeezy Season 1 collection is expected to be announced very soon, as stores including SOTO Berlin are already putting in their orders.
