As a young designer, Imran Potato swiftly garnered a loyal fan base for bootlegging various apparel and accessory items from Gucci-patterned socks and backpacks to swimming trunks emblazoned with Louis Vuitton’s signature monogram graphics to fugzai FOAM RNNRS. And next up for the creative is a whole new footwear project that is rather frightening but unsurprising: slip-on shoes that look like real human feet.Teased via his Instagram, the footwear item looks as if though it was made for your Halloween costume and immediately elicits memories of when actor Jim Carrey pulled up to an Oscars Awards party back in 2013 rocking oversized feet kicks. It’s still unclear to say what the shoes are crafted from, but they do appear to be fully engineered with a vinyl or rubber material. From top to bottom, these wild shoes are drenched in a medium brown hue and feature intricate vein and toenail details that are so on point they might just make you cringe a little. Underneath, the word “POTATO” is carved out into outsoles and arrives in tonal fashion.So far, no release date has been announced, but it’s likely that Imran Potato will drop these in the coming months.

When the YEEZY FOAM RNNR by adidas and Kanye West was first spotted of the soles of North West back in 2019, the internet certainly had some divisive responses to its unorthodox construction. However, now that a few releases have been unloaded to the public, the silhouette has swiftly become one of the most sought-after footwear offerings on the market. Following the revealing of it’s Red October-inspired “Vermilion” colorway, the YEEZY FOAM RNNR has now uncovered in a brand new “Ochre” palette which draws influence from a natural clay pigment.Like most of the drops that have been revealed thus far, this particular option elects to go with the monochromatic look. From head to toe, the cushion-y clog is baptized in its nominal tone and instantly reflects the essence of the Summer season. In terms of materials, this forthcoming piece is entirely made of EVA foam, some of which is pulled from algae to reflect that of the Three Stripes’ ongoing sustainable efforts. Alien-esque holes are punched out in various sections of the side walls and toe boxes to offer wearers with ample ventilation.Catch a first glimpse at the pair here above, and note that according to YEEZY MAFIA, these are slated to launch in July 2021 for $80 USD.For more footwear news, take a first look at the adidas YEEZY 500 High “Sumac” and “Tactile Orange” colorways.
