ORIGINAL STORY: Kanye West has opened pop-up stores in New York, Los Angeles and Paris selling his The Life Of Pablo merchandise, and from tomorrow he’s set to widen his reach, opening a bunch of new pop-up stores, including two in Australia.

According to Vogue, Yeezy is prepping 21 temporary stores stocking merchandise across the US, Europe and Asia, as well as stores down under.

While exact details haven’t been revealed yet, a map published on Kanye’s website shows that Sydney and Melbourne are both getting pop-ups. They are expected to open in each city on 19th August, which is tomorrow, however, exact times and locations are yet to be revealed.

Each city will reportedly receive different merch, with the name of the city spelled out on tees and hoodies in the gothic script that he’s used on all the Pablo merch so far.

One thing the stores probably won’t be stocking though, is a new Kanye-inspired craft beer. As Pitchfork reports, A Baltimore-based beer company has launched a brew that deconstructs the flavour of Dr. Pepper. It’s called “I miss the old Kanye,” referencing Kanye’s recent track I Love Kanye.

Beer or no beer, there definitely will be merch at the pop-up stores, but once you find out the details you better be quick to line up if you’re hoping to cop something; Kanye’s previous pop-ups have attracted huge crowds of people.

Check out a selection of merch from previous cities below, alongside Kanye’s announcement and a photo of the Kanye-inspired craft beer.
