Rapper Kanye West has surely made headlines with his Yeezy line of footwear and clothing, and now, he's done it again – by promising that it will be more affordable next time.

West, in an interview, told TMZ that the price of his signature clothing line will be more affordable next time.

"We gonna get them lowered, next season," he said.

The season 1 release was relatively expensive and has left much to be desired, according to Highsnobiety. For example, season 1 sweatshirts and hoodies are priced around $420, and the most expensive season 1 outerwear goes all the way up to a whopping $3,800.

Season 2, on the other hand, had a lower price range, which maxed at about $1,200. Should this trend follow, shoppers can expect that season 3 will be as Yeezy himself said: more affordable.

In another, Yeezy-related news, a cancer patient said that the Yeezy Boost shoe has saved his feet.

Steve “Scuba” Johnson, who is suffering from colon cancer, said that the Yeezy 350 Boost saved his feet which were very painful due to chemotherapy.

“I was unable to walk because my feet were all blistered up from chemo, so I wore my adidas Yeezy 350 Boost, which I credit to saving my feet,” he told Kiel Colon Cancer Brand Ambassador Riley Battle, as per Footwear News.

And now that the upcoming Yeezy season 3 line is going to be more affordable, more people aside from Johnson just might have the opportunity to experience the comfort and feel of the Yeezy line.

Meanwhile, it seems that Kim Kardashian's husband is having a great time with Adidas. It's evident not just in the way he shows dedication to making more Yeezys, but also in his music, Design & Trend reported.

One of his new releases, “Facts,” West raps "Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, just jumped over Jumpman" referring to his new sneaker and his former shoe company.

He also told TMZ as to why he'd rather work with Adidas and not return to Nike.

"It's not about the money," he explained. "It's about respect, the communication... Adidas is my family."

Although some media might have portrayed “Facts” as an attack against Nike endorser LeBron James, West clarified that it isn't.

"The media tried to make it seem like I was downplaying LeBron on my song FACTS which I would never do," he said in a now-deleted tweet, which can be seen in HipHopDX. "Lebron is fam bottom line.”
