The iconic [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-lightblaze-moc) YEEZY Forma Runner silhouette is perfect for the warmer seasons of the year, and the latest hue to join the roster is the Onyx colorway. It has a blended [lightweight EVA sole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aruku) foundation and overall construction of algae materials. It comes together to create a sleek black color -- it boasts a dynamic sculpted silhouette that boasts circular and oval perforations throughout to enhance the [breathable elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-unveils-climacool), prepared for the warmer times.

It all rests on top of treaded outsoles for additional traction throughout any environment. It also adds a sense of comfort to round out the design. It is set to launch online at adidas and other retailers beginning June 8th.
