It might soon be time to add another accolade to Kanye West's artistic catalog.
The man who has 21 Grammy wins and a multi-billion dollar valuation for his Yeezy collaborations is looking at making a car.
DONDA, West s content company known for collaborating on projects across various fields like film, design, and fashion, named the noted sneaker designer Steven Smith as the head of Donda Industrial Design. One of the products highlighted in the release naming Smith as head of industrial design is the Donda Foam Vehicle. The image is also titled Conceptualized, Designed, Manufactured in the United States, Amen.
The image shows a cross between a Dark Knight era Batmobile and a futuristic ATV, showing just a silhouette of the vehicle from the passenger side. Massive tires on the front and back bookend the vehicle, which feature a wraparound type of windshield up front.
Is foam made of foam, or does it exist? It is hard to say with the limited info given. Whether it can be made is another story, though a number of publications note Tesla s TSLA Elon Musk and West are friends, and the speculation is that Tesla could make the vehicle for DONDA.
This is a very loose speculation, and is likely to be more fun for car lovers, sneaker heads, and streetwear fans.
West's millions of followers and the equally fervent Tesla community will have to wait to hear more about whether a Donda Foam Vehicle will roll off a Tesla assembly line in the years ahead.
