Brown posted pictures to his Instagram account of himself spending time with the students at the new school in Simi Valley, California. Both Brown and the students wore all-black clothing and Adidas Yeezy footwear. Below is everything fans need to know about the shoes everyone had on their feet.

The Adidas Yeezy Foam RNR 'Onyx' was released on June 8, 2022, for $80. However, thanks to the hype surrounding the futuristic footwear, the average resale price is now $176. The shoe is constructed of foam, using part EVA and algae.
