The infamous bear costume from Kanye West’s The College Dropout' is now on the market for $1 million.
If your willing to pay $1 million, you can purchase the bear costume Kanye once wore from his album. The owner and creator of the costume, Eric Arginsky, sat down and discussed the bears origin story with Andrew Barber of Fake Shore Drive.
Per Hypebeast, the bear is the actual mascot of the school where the photoshoot for the album took place. Because the school refused to sell the costume to Kanye's record label, West created his own customized bear suit. West wore the infamous suit on the cover of his album, to The Grammys and Hollywood events promoting The College Dropout.
Although the two initially planned to come out with a stuffed animal line, the idea eventually faded away. Arginsky did manage to keep the bear suit for 15 years now. He now wants to sell the costume for $1 million to someone who will take care of it.
