West, 39, announced the move on Twitter on Wednesday with a
map of the stores that will be located in cities in the United
States, Australia, England, Germany, South Africa and Singapore.
He gave no details but Vogue said the stores would be open for
three days only and that the exact location would be announced
24 hours in advance on the musician's website.
West, currently on a U.S. tour promoting his "The Life of Pablo"
album, has become a sought-after fashion designer, launching his
latest collection of casual wear at New York's Madison Square
Garden in February.
Prices for West's Yeezy line of sneakers have fetched 10 times
their sticker price, with some pairs fetching more than $4,000
in the re-sale market.
A New York pop-up store in March for the Pablo merchandise had
shoppers lining up for hours to get a piece of the clothing.
Vogue said each city getting the pop-up stores this weekend will
have its name spelled out on t-shirts and hoodies in gothic
script in bold shades.
