The interactive Comparable Asset Value Chart (the “Chart”) plots historical sales of assets comparable to the Underlying Asset, showing price values on the vertical axis against time on the horizontal axis.  The prices reflected on the Chart are not adjusted for inflation.  Users of the Platform can opt to display varying ranges of time on the Chart’s horizontal axis, from one month to one year or longer to the extent such data are available.  If multiple comparable asset sales occurred on a single day, the Chart provides an average for that day.  By hovering over the points on the Chart, users can view price and date of sale represented by each point.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES COMPLETE COLLECTION OF YEEZY 350 SNEAKERS (2015-2020)

Investment Overview

 

·Upon completion of the Series #YEEZY Offering, Series #YEEZY will purchase a pair of Complete Collection of Yeezy 350 Sneakers (2015-2020) as the Underlying Asset for Series #YEEZY (The “Series 2015-2020 Yeezy 350 Sneakers” or the “Underlying Asset” with respect to Series #YEEZY, as applicable), the specifications of which are set forth below. 

·With the following lyrics delivered in the 2002 track titled, The Bounce, “Shout out to Just Bleezy and Kan-Yeezy; See how we adjusted the game so easy,” Jay-Z gave recognition to a young, still relatively unknown Kanye West. West took to the nickname and would use it often moving forward. 

·During the February 2015 weekend in which both the NBA All-Star games and Fashion Week were taking place in New York, West debuted a collection that included his Adidas Yeezy Boost 350. Internally known as the “Roshe Killer,” the shoe was riffing on Nike’s popular Roshe Run sportswear silo. Attendees of West’s collection included Anna Wintour and Pusha T. The shoe had a peppered Primeknit upper, encaged Boost cushioning, and rope lacing. The retail cost of the shoe was $200. 

·The Underlying Asset is a Complete Collection of Yeezy 350 Sneakers (2015-2020).  

 

Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His father was an Atlanta Journal photojournalist, his mother was a professor of English at Chicago State University. 

·West started out as a music producer in Chicago, working with local artists and developing a signature style called “chipmunk soul.” He moved to New York in 2001 where he got his big break producing the Jay-Z track, “This Can’t Be Life,” from the album “Dynasty: Roc La Familia” and four songs on Jay-Z’s following album The Blueprint. He went onto produce famous singers and rappers including Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Ludacris, Alicia Keys, and Beyoncé. 

·In February of 2004 West released his first solo album, The College Dropout, which sold 2.6 million copies and made West a star. It peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart and was responsible for West’s 10 Grammy nominations that year, including Best Rap Song for “Jesus Walks,” and best rap album. 

·West partnered with Nike for his first shoe line, the Nike Air Yeezys. West debuted the shoes at the 2008 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in a tribute to his recently deceased mother. This would be followed by an official release of the shoe in spring of 2009. 

·West severed his Nike partnership in 2013, during which time only two shoes were produced over a five year span. West is quoted as saying, “I said, 'Well I need royalties.' It's not even like I have a joint venture. At least give me some royalties. Michael Jordan has 5 percent and that business is $2 billion. He makes a $100 million dollars a year off of 5 percent royalties. Nike told me, 'We can’t give you royalties because you're not a professional athlete.' I told them, 'I go to the Garden and play one-on-no one. I'm a performance athlete.'” 

·In 2015 sales at Adidas increased 14% and net income went up 10% , and this can be, in part, credited to Yeezy Boost partnership. 

·In 2016 a version of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 was made cleated. While it was initially worn on the field by NFL players, the league quickly banned the shoe. 

·The Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 was released with and without a heel tab, also had an updated upper Primeknit pattern. Some Yeezy Boost 350 v2s employed reflective threading, others had the ability to glow in the dark.

Kanye announced via Instagram: "Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player. Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own."
