Barneys New York will carry Kanye West's Adidas collection online and in store. WWD reports that Kanye West x Adidas Originals Yeezy Season 1 is hitting Barneys stores later this year, and their selection will include apparel, footwear, and bags. The collection will be located on the eighth floor of the Madison Avenue flagship and in all branches of the department store.

"The product is right for the moment," Tom Kalenderian, executive vice president and general merchandise manager of men’s for Barneys, told WWD. And if the rumored prices for Yeezy Season 1 are accurate, then those pricetags are definitely in line with Barneys' merchandise.
