Kanye West is not afraid to challenge popular opinion. Whether speaking on political issues or singing with autotune, the charged creator has made a career against the grain and made the masses question the role of an artist in pop culture.
In 2020, Kanye was determined to question the way the world saw things, even if it started with the shoes. Released without warning, the Yeezy foam runner changed the conversation around coveted footwear, launching a must-have shoe that was miles away from a traditional sneaker silhouette.
Made in America in the image of a Croc clog, the $ 75 model lacked leather, laces, and branding, but instead relied on an algae-assisted EVA construction. Before most could decide whether they liked or despised the first episode of “Ararat,†all of the pairs instantly sold out.
Since then, the Yeezy Foam Runner has changed opinions and pushed the boundaries of footwear, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after models on the market. Scheduled to arrive soon in a familiar “Vermilion” makeup, Kanye’s counterculture kicks went from polarizing to prominent. What launches made this possible and how did we get there? Find out by exploring and purchasing the best versions of Yeezy Foam Runner, available now at GOAT.
