Yeezy Crocs? Kanye West's bringing us something very controversial in 2020

It’s rare for a six-year-old to cause such a ruckus, but when said six-year-old is North West and the daughter of two of the most famous people in the world, it’s just another day.

That’s exactly what happened for West when she was pictured at Disneyland with her mum earlier this summer sporting an unconventional white foam slipper.

The sartorial choice raised eyebrows at the time, but now all the pieces of the puzzle are slotting into place.

Yeezy’s fan Instagram account, Yeezy Mafia, which has a following of 2.1million, has leaked images of the shoe, which is reportedly called the Yeezy Foam Runner.

The shoe, which Twitter users are dubbing ‘Yeezy Crocs’, appears to be constructed of a foam material and perforated sole similar to that of Crocs.

It’s believed that the Yeezy Foam Runner will drop sometime in 2020, although no official statements from the brand have been made about a release date or its price point.

Keep your eyes peeled for potentially the most controversial shoe design of next year.
