Key Details
- Wiz Khalifa's custom R.A.D. UFO pair moves from a black and yellow build to a pink and yellow colorway.
- R.A.D.'s UFO Running Trainer is a performance running shoe that has crossed into sneaker culture through its shape and colorways.
- Wiz Khalifa is regarded as one of R.A.D.'s biggest unofficial ambassadors.
R.A.D.’s UFO Running Trainer just picked up a fresh custom build on Wiz Khalifa’s feet. The rapper swapped his original black and yellow pair for a new pink and yellow colorway, and the change surfaced in an Instagram reel that tracks his daily running routine. It’s the clearest sign yet that Khalifa isn’t just wearing R.A.D. he’s now commissioning his own personal versions of the shoe.
R.A.D. operates in a lane most performance running labels don’t bother with, sitting somewhere between serious training gear and sneaker culture. The UFO Running Trainer is built for actual mileage, but its unusual shape and loud color blocking have pulled it into circles well outside the running community, and Khalifa has effectively become one of the brand’s biggest unofficial faces. That crossover points to a broader shift in celebrity sneaker culture, where the flex has traditionally lived with Jordans, Dunks and basketball silhouettes rather than running shoes. JustFreshKicks will be watching whether R.A.D. can turn that momentum into a wider release, and readers can track how that kind of hype usually plays out on our sneaker release dates page.
Who Is R.A.D. and Why Is Wiz Khalifa Wearing Their Shoes?
