Yeezy Foam Runner 'Onyx'
The Yeezy Foam Runner debuted in 2020 as one of the most polarising and experimental designs in the Yeezy catalogue, featuring a futuristic clog-like shape carved from a single piece of foam. Originally teased by Kanye West years before release, the Foam Runner quickly moved from controversial to coveted, becoming one of the most sought-after casual silhouettes in streetwear. Its unique organic form and sustainable materials set it apart from any traditional sneaker or slide.
The Onyx colourway covers the entire one-piece Foam Runner silhouette in a deep dark graphite grey that reads near-black in most lighting. The uniform dark tone across the sculpted foam body creates a sleek, understated look that highlights the shoe's organic contours and ventilation port design. It is one of the most versatile colourways in the Foam Runner range.
One-piece construction blending EVA and algae-based foam for a lightweight, flexible, and partially sustainable build. Multiple ventilation ports carved into the upper provide all-around breathability in warm conditions. Textured interior surface delivers no-slip grip and comfort without the need for a separate insole. Herringbone tread outsole offers dependable traction on both wet and dry surfaces. Slip-on design with no laces or fasteners for easy on and off wear.
Fit: Runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. For a roomier fit, consider going up half a size.

The Yeezy Foam Runner Onyx is ideal for anyone looking for a blacked-out statement slip-on that works across seasons and settings. It suits streetwear enthusiasts who want the Foam Runner silhouette in its most wearable, versatile colourway. The near-black finish makes it an easy daily rotation piece that pairs with virtually anything.
The Onyx Foam Runner is one of the easiest colourways to style thanks to its near-black finish. It pairs effortlessly with joggers, cargo shorts, or relaxed summer fits in any colour palette, acting as a neutral anchor for the rest of the outfit.
The Foam Runner Onyx sits alongside the Sand and Stone Sage as one of the core colourways in the range. Compared to the Sand, the Onyx offers a darker, more understated option that hides wear and dirt more effectively. Against the Yeezy Slide Onyx, the Foam Runner delivers more coverage, a sculptural silhouette, and better ventilation through its carved port design.
The Foam Runner generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. If you prefer a roomier fit or plan to wear socks, consider going up half a size as the one-piece foam construction does not stretch significantly.
The Foam Runner is constructed from a blend of standard EVA foam and an algae-based foam compound. This makes it lightweight, flexible, and partially sustainable, while still providing cushioning and durability for everyday wear.
The Onyx sits as a deep dark graphite grey rather than a true black. The algae-based foam material gives it a slightly lighter tone compared to releases like the Core Black or Vanta. In most lighting conditions it reads as near-black and works as a blacked-out option.
Simply rinse with warm water and mild soap, using a soft cloth or brush for any stubborn marks. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight, as excessive heat can warp the foam material.
