After finding success in sneaker design, Kanye West was once set to launch his own foam based concept car through his Donda company.

Remember When Kanye West Launched a Design to Produce His Own Foam Concept Donda Car?

Kanye West once had a concept design for a futuristic car. While the thought may
have been far-fetched, the entertainer has certainly proved his capabilities to
do unique unexpected things before. He not only aced in singing and producing,
but also created an empire with the Adidas collaboration. To top it, he opened
his own Donda school, naming it after his mother.

Designing a car is way different from designing shoes. It takes a much larger
planning, production, and financial capacity. It made people wonder how exactly
was the ambitious singer planning to make it a reality. Here is a look into his
concept car, and what happened to it.


WHAT WAS THE CONCEPT CAR OF KANYE WEST ALL ABOUT?

With time, celebrities are expanding their skills and sources of income. But
Kanye West’s own ambitious self took a rather high aim when announcing the
design of his concept car. According to Complex

Ye had appointed expert sneaker designer Steven Smith to design the car. He was
appointed as the head of design for the entertainer’s Donda company. After
finding success in their partnerships for sneakers, the two decided to expand
their horizons for different objects.



West took pride in announcing that the cars will be created in America. The foam
vehicle’s photo was dropped by the company last year. It showcased the car in
shades of grey. It certainly had a unique look, with an all-grey color and dark
tints. Along with the photo came a tagline that announced the car’s concept and
American manufacturing. However, no major updates came after that. Moreover,
Ye’s loss of wealth

after his Adidas split means this plan has been put on hold.

Even if he had continued, the one question to wonder was, how was he planning to
set up such a massive production?


YE WOULD HAVE LIKELY TAKEN THE HELP OF ELON MUSK

The Tesla owner and the ‘Donda’ singer backed each other for a while. Despite
their occasional issues, they both share similar opinions on certain things and
are known to be ambitious. Considering that Elon Musk’s successful car
production company could have made space to make Ye’s concept a reality.
Although the rapper stopped talking about the plan long ago, the possibility of
it happening is never out of the question.
