2XU expects boost from Kanye West collaboration

13/03/2018
Australian compression clothing brand 2XU has confirmed it is collaborating with musician and clothing designer Kanye West on the new collection from his Yeezy brand.

Co-founder, Jamie Hunt, has told Australian media that 2XU’s fabric technology is being used by Mr West in his new collection. 

He added that Mr West’s strong social media presence has already sparked interest in 2XU, but he insisted that the company hopes the collaboration does more than just boost its revenue. 

“We are not in this for sales. We are in this because it helps grow our brand," Mr Hunt said.

Kanye West has previously worked with sportswear brands Nike and adidas, primarily developing his own footwear line.
