Following the highly controversial release of the Yeezy foam RNR back in 2021, the following release of the Yeezy knit RNR garnered just as much attention a year later, just in a better light. Let’s take a look at one of the most unique silhouettes that Adidas has to offer.
The End of an Era
The Yeezy slide knit runner is one of the last releases to come out of the legendary Adidas and Yeezy partnership. The seven-year collaboration between the German brand Adidas and Kanye West’s Yeezy brand has blessed us with some of the most iconic streetwear and footwear products to hit the market. From the insanely popular Yeezy 350 to the incredibly versatile Yeezy slides, this brand will always have a special place in our hearts, in spite of its discontinuation. To this day, fans are still obsessing over the iconism of Yeezy’s sneakers. They were truly revolutionary, in every sense of the word.
The last year before the discontinuation of the brand gave us some of the most unique looking sneakers to ever exist. We can confidently say that Yeezy went out with a bang. This includes the Yeezy Knit Runner, the sibling of the Yeezy Foam Runner. Whereas the latter is made completely out of foam, the former is made fully of knitting material, making it essentially a sweater for your feet, perfect for keeping your feet cozy and warm. This release takes comfort to a whole new level that you never knew you needed.
A Historic Piece
If you’re into adding stylish pops of color to your outfit, then the Yeezy Knit Runner in Sulfur will quickly become your holy grail. Yeezy debuted this sneaker exclusively in the US in this bright colorway, which was a surprising change from the brand’s otherwise earthy-toned aesthetic. However, Yeezy wouldn’t be Yeezy if they fully strayed away from their neutral aesthetic. Hence, they released the Stone Carbon colorway worldwide following the successful drop.
Feeling confident when you take your first step out of your house is very crucial; it sets out your mood for the rest of the day. And what better way to exude confidence than with a bold pair of sneakers that will keep you secure and comfortable all day long? The Yeezy Knit Runner delivers just that. This amazing sneaker molds perfectly to your feet, to the point where it will feel and look like you’re wearing an elevated pair of socks.
The upper of the sneaker is made entirely of the Adidas technology PrimeKnit material, which is the ideal fabric to make the sneaker feel as light as possible. This will always allow you to be quick on your feet as opposed to being dragged down by the heaviness of your sneakers. With the Yeezy Knit Runner, you’ll experience a whole new level of comfort you never knew was possible. The overall cushioning extends from the sole all the way up to the collar. Walking on a cloud would be put to shame in comparison to these outstanding kicks.
