The Drop
The Yeezy Foam RNR Onyx dropped in kids' sizing as part of Kanye's divisive foam clog experiment—arguably the model that proved Crocs-ähnliche silhouettes could command triple-digit resale. The all-black Onyx colorway became the go-to sleeper version for parents chasing clout and playground durability. Unlike louder Yeezys, this one flew under hype radar but held value surprisingly well.
Resell Verdict
Fair market sits around $101, with asks ranging $72-$149 depending on size and seller desperation. 55 weekly orders signal steady demand—not explosive, but reliable. Resell trajectory is stable-to-declining as foam RNRs flood the market post-Adidas breakup, but kids' sizes retain slight premiums due to scarcity compared to adult runs. Flip potential is modest; better as a long hold than quick cash grab.
Fake Tells
- ▸Midsole texture: Reps often feel too smooth or rubbery—authentic Onyx has irregular, almost chalky foam grain
- ▸Heel ventilation holes: Fakes show uneven spacing or sloppy drilling
- ▸Box label: HP5347 SKU should match; bootleggers frequently misprint size stickers
Who It's For
Resellers targeting parents who missed retail or want the "status sandal" for their kid without paying Yeezy Slide prices. Also college kids treating these as dorm shower shoes with drip.
Sizing & Fit
Runs big—common advice is size down one full size from kids' normal sneaker size for a snug, wearable fit.
