Being a sneaker enthusiast I know that this shoe has seen it all. It’s been on the scene since 2017 where its has become one of the most praised, ridiculed, imitated, memed and sought after sneaker ever existed. There’s no doubt in saying that this shoe gave rise to the chunky shoe trend.

The TRIPLE S silhouette has been a major hit for the brand but when it comes to sneakerheads and customers there are mixed opinions, some appreciates the uniqueness of the shoe while others think they are trash. The shoe was created in collaboration between Demna Gvasalia and high fashion footwear designer David Tourniaire-Beauciel – the person who creates shoes for Givenchy and Maison Margiela.

Basically the ‘S’ in the Triple S stands for the sole. Which means that this shoe has three soles. the heavily padded, triple-soled design, molds were taken from running, basketball and track shoes, which were then stacked by 6.5cm platform to create the silhouette that gives the TRIPLE S both its unique look and its name. The shoe size appeared embroidered on the toe, while rope laces finish off the look.

 The retail price on these shoes is $ 795 which comes to around ₹ 65,000.

Let’s check out the shoes worn by famous Indian celebrities.

Honestly I am confused, whether I should call Yeezy foam runner as sneaker or crocs. Instead of all this confusion, I should rather consider them as Kanye’s uplifted version of crocs.

Some people consider “Yeezy’s are dead” but the foam runner has arrived to prove this remark as false. There are tons of mixed opinion with this new silhouette. Some consider them as unique and some consider them as total trash. Personally I think they look like an alien shoe. Isn’t this the same story with every Yeezy release. When the pictures are leaked on social media, most of them criticize but when they actually get the silhouette in hand they like it.

The foam runner started its journey in 2019, when both Kanye and Steven Smith debuted the design during Day 3 of the fast company innovation festival.

Today the foam runner is arguably at its most popular state, offering new colorways. Now because of its upcoming variety and accessible retail point, the foam runner is on the verge to take over crocs.

The foam runner is just like an everyday shoe, its sustainable construction is an added bonus. Kanye has quoted them as offering immense comfort, whether it be to the bodega or to the bathroom just across the hall.

If we pay close attention they look like modified version of crocs, now I am sorry Kanye West it is what it is. People who are owning them say that they are insanely comfortable. So after reading all this if you also want to purchase your very own pair then the foam runner retails for ₹ 8,000.

Now enough about the foam runner. Lets see how the Bollywood celebrities are styling Kanye’s crocs.
