Steven Smith, YEEZY's former Head of Product Design, has recently been linked to a laceless Crocs silhouette that's lead netizens to draw similarities between it and the FOAM RUNNER.
Now Head of Innovation Design and Executive Vice President at Crocs, Smith has maintained a relatively low-profile since joining the Colorado-based expert in comfort in December 2024. His new design was shared via social media by Instagram user @philiplpost, who expressed that Cesar Idrobo (also now of Crocs and formerly of YEEZY) gifted him the pair.
The model abandons traditional lacing and the Crocs Classic Clog's heel strap in favor of a clog-like build. Three perforations appear on the top of the model, with two radial-shaped moldings appearing across both profiles. The grey-and-blue color scheme complements the design's bold nature, hinting at color combinations that'll grace the design whenever it launches.
Enjoy an early look at Smith's creation ahead. Once you're done, check out all upcoming New Balances.
