Retail is closed. adidas cleared remaining Foam Runner stock by mid-2024 and confirmed in 2025 that no inventory remains. This is a Yeezy Foam Runner price guide for owners, not buyers: every pair now changes hands on the secondary market, and 4 factors set what yours is worth. Colorway, size, condition, and closed supply each shape the estimate differently. The Onyx is the volume colorway with the deepest resale data. Early and unusual colorways like the Ararat are separate products that behave on their own terms. Every price in this guide is an observation from a named source on 2026-09-23, not a live quote.

What the Foam Runner Actually Is
The Foam Runner debuted on June 26, 2020, as a Yeezy Supply exclusive in the Ararat colorway at $75. It was the first USA-made adidas Yeezy, built with algae-derived foam in a single-piece mold. That material choice drew attention well beyond sneaker circles and gave the silhouette a collector identity rooted in process, not just aesthetics.
The one-piece foam construction is also the reason the Foam Runner is one of the most widely counterfeited Yeezy models. A single mold is simpler to replicate than a multi-component build with separate uppers, midsoles, and outsoles.
Collector communities have given the Foam Runner informal names over the years. If you found this article under an alternate search term, a CYKI Notes piece on sneaker nicknames explained covers why models pick up secondary names and what those names tell you about collector culture.
The Onyx: The Volume Colorway
The Onyx (HP8739) released on June 8, 2022, at $90 across adult, kids, and infant sizes, making it the widest-distributed Foam Runner colorway by size run. It restocked on March 7, 2024, at the same $90 retail price, which added a second wave of supply to a market that was already well stocked.
2 drops across 3 size categories gave the Onyx the deepest pool of completed sales data of any Foam Runner colorway. That depth makes it the most reliable benchmark for tracking the Yeezy Foam Runner Onyx resale price. It also makes it the least rare.
Owning an Onyx means owning the volume pair. If you are trying to figure out what a Yeezy Foam Runner is worth, start by understanding that the Onyx and a limited early colorway are not the same product in resale terms.
What the Onyx Was Trading for on 2026-09-23
On 2026-09-23, StockX showed the Onyx Foam Runner at approximately $73, a figure StockX described as $17 below its $90 retail price. Google Shopping on the same date showed StockX asks ranging from $50 to $124 for the Onyx, alongside a Stadium Goods listing at $99. The spread between the low ask and the Stadium Goods figure illustrates how much the price varies by seller and condition on any given day.
That below-retail figure reflects the Onyx's high original supply and the 2024 restock. A colorway with 2 drops across 3 size categories will naturally see more secondary-market supply than a one-drop release. The number is a snapshot of what happened with the volume pair, not a collapse of the Foam Runner market as a whole.
These figures are observations from 2026-09-23. They are not the current price. Rack your Foam Runners in CYKI and track your pair's P&L in CYKI to see an estimate grounded in resale marketplace data that updates as the market moves.
Rare and Early Colorways: A Different Market
The Ararat, as the debut colorway from June 2020, carries a different collector story. It was a Yeezy Supply exclusive at $75, limited in distribution, and the first USA-made adidas Yeezy. That origin is reflected in how the secondary market treats it.
Other colorways, including MX Cream Clay, MX Sand Grey, and Stone Sage, each have their own release volume and resale data depth. Fewer completed transactions mean thinner data and wider price variation. The resale value of rare Foam Runner colorways is shaped by a supply-and-demand picture that looks nothing like the Onyx's.
Do not benchmark a rare or early colorway against the Onyx. If you own an early or unusual pair, the best way to get an estimate grounded in actual sales data is through a platform that tracks completed transactions rather than asking prices.
The 4 Factors That Set Your Pair's Value
-
Colorway. Which colorway you own is the single biggest variable. The Onyx is the volume pair with the deepest data. Early and limited colorways are separate markets with thinner data and different price behavior.
-
Size. The Onyx released across adult, kids, and infant size runs. Uncommon sizes typically trade at a premium or discount relative to the median adult size. The same colorway in a size 5 and a size 10 will not clear at the same price. A CYKI Notes piece on why shoe sizes affect resale value explains the mechanics.
-
Condition. Dead stock commands a meaningfully different estimate from a worn pair. Knowing how condition is graded before you list or value your pair prevents surprises when a buyer inspects it.
-
Closed supply. adidas cleared remaining stock by mid-2024 and confirmed in 2025 that no inventory remains. Every new-to-market pair comes from the secondary market. A fixed supply pool that shrinks as pairs are worn or absorbed is a structural fact about this model, and it interacts with the other 3 factors.
Counterfeit vs. Authentic Foam Runners: The Heel Tell
The Foam Runner's single-piece foam mold is easier to replicate than multi-layer sneaker builds. That simplicity makes it one of the most widely counterfeited Yeezy models. If you are trying to tell whether your Foam Runner is authentic, start with the heel.
The most reliable visual indicator, based on a Legit Grails observation dated 2026-09-23, is the heel shape: on an authentic pair the heel is more rounded and visibly larger than on a counterfeit. This is one observable indicator, not a definitive pass or fail.
If you are unsure after checking the heel, professional authentication services exist that will assess the pair before you list it. A fake pair has no legitimate resale value regardless of appearance. The CYKI Notes guide on authentication services compared covers your options for professional verification.
