What to wear with yeezy foam runners

If you’re looking for the perfect outfit to wear with your Yeezy Foam Runners, we’ve got you covered.

First, let’s talk about the shoes: they’re made with a unique foam material that makes them super lightweight and easy to move around in. That being said, they’re not necessarily meant for running as fast as you can—they’re more like a cross between sneakers and slippers. The texture of the sole is very forgiving (hence the name), so it’s easy to walk around in them without feeling like you’re wearing flip-flops on your feet.

If you’ve been looking for a way to dress up your Yeezy Foam Runners but still have some fun with them, try pairing them with an elegant skirt or dress. You can’t go wrong with a pair of black tights or leggings underneath!

If you want something more casual but still stylish, try pairing your Yeezy Foams with jeans and a cute top—you’ll love how comfortable this outfit makes you feel!

A cozy yet futuristic statement fashion piece, the Yeezy Foam Runner burst onto the sneaker scene in 2020 and has sparked controversy and debate ever since. One of the latest creations of the rapper and designer Kayne West, Yeezy Foam sneakers have been compared to Crocs, spotted on the front row, and have a multi-layered appeal that has had them selling out in seconds.

The YZY Foam Runner is one of the most polarizing pieces of footwear to date. The emphasis on comfort along with the cozy-centric aesthetic has pushed the hype to an unexpected high. They went from the go-to meme footwear choice to being a “must-cop” by release day.

Perhaps you got a W on release day, pulled the trigger on the resell market, or even traded a pair of Jordan 1s for them, Foam Runner owners all end up in the same place. You open up the box, hold them in your hand, and ask yourself: “How the hell do I wear these?”

The good news is, it’s not as difficult as it may seem. The one piece of advice I always give when someone asks how to wear a specific shoe is not to overthink it. That applies especially to these since there’s always going to be an ironic “meme” element to these, no matter what you end up wearing. So we’ve got some guidance for you.

And what better place to start than to look at Yeezy himself. Above are some of the best looks Kanye West has put together with his most wild footwear design yet. And while his aesthetic has evolved from the 350 days, the common theme for his Foam Runner looks is the relaxed nature of his pants. Whether he’s wearing leather trousers or Carhartt Work denim, there’s an intentional looseness to his bottom choices.

After seeing hundreds, maybe thousands, of different fit pics across the internet, it’s apparent that skinny jeans/pants should not be your first move when it comes to styling Foam Runners. A baggier look will help compliment the kicks instead of being the sole focus of your shoe, which an overly tapered or skinny pant could do. While looking for Kanye fits, this photo below kept popping up, and I thought it made a pretty good case against anything skin-tight pants with shoes like this. My guy looks like he’s wearing three sizes too big on those Foams.

Look, I’m not saying you need parachute pants, but a straighter cut will do you some good. Slim straight pants are still a valid option. If you look back to Kanye’s looks, his pants aren’t all that wide either, just enough to bring the look of the Foam Runners back to earth. The Dickies 874s have been my go-to recommendation for those looking to part with their calf-huggers.

Cargos have been a staple for sneakerheads for quite some time, and whether you cuff your cargos or let them fall on top of your sneakers, the same rule applies here. Sweatpants are also an easy choice for these, but I would stick to the ones with scrunch cuff hems as the other ones are most common in slimmer silhouettes.

Some SoleSavy community members have asked, “how do I wear these with shorts?”. No matter where you side on the inseam length debate, most shorts look good with these. Look no further than what’s already in your closet as they will likely work.

Oh, and one more thing, please wear socks and spare everyone from the ridiculous tan line that would appear on your foot if you decided to wear these sockless. Maybe the beach would be an exception for the sock rule but you’re just asking for an alien-esque imprint on your foot at that point.

When writing this piece, we asked our members how they’ve been wearing their Foam Runners. After all, who better to ask than folks who wear and enjoy their sneakers?

Here are some of the best looks brought to you by the SoleSavy community.

The Adidas Yeezy brand has in fact produced many sought-after designs (check our list of the best Yeezy shoes of all time to see them all). The Yeezy Boost 350 became one of the fastest-selling footwear models in history due to its insane levels of comfort and style versatility that enable you to hop seamlessly from gym to date night without a hitch.

It was Kayne West’s daughter, ‘North’, who first sported the Yeezy Foam Runner in a neutral, monochromatic colorway ‘Ararat’, and since then there has been an explosion in the range of colors and shades available. The Yeezy Foam Runner ‘Sand’ is a slightly darker take on the original, while the Yeezy Foam Runner ‘Vermillion’ is a head-turning shade of scarlet that is not for the faint-hearted.

Comfortable and cool, Yeezy water shoes need few accessories, their unique silhouette speaks for itself. Made of molded foam that provides surprising levels of bounce and spring, the Yeezy Foam Runner is easy to slip on and off, but the question of how to style a designer sneaker that is covered in cut-out segments may leave you feeling rather perplexed.
