I'd double print from two negatives, quite easy in this case.

One-half second exposure should work for a subject with a brisk walking pace. Time the shutter opening with the planting of the foot on the ground. Dark clothing and a light background will complete the effect.
Looks like there was another pedestrian with a frozen foot on the bottom left that he dodged out in printing.
I'm not so sure it would be that easy to do with the model moving everything but their foot on a long exposure, or with combination printing. I think it was a false foot/leg with a slightly longer trouser leg flapping around in the wind.
Do you have a spare foot and leg laying around?
What makes the photograph work is that the blur of the upper body is believable. A composite photograph is often not believable; neither are contrivances like a false body part.
So what is your solution?
Shoot from above.
Long exposure.
Show the model the photograph of what you want.
Tell the model to not move his foot but move everything else.
I posted that in post #2.
Would you like to do this and post your result, as I don't think it would work.
No that is just a doppelganger!
I don't have any of my own work like that scanned for posting, but it would look something like this. One-second exposure:

However, those folks are just walking and spend too much time with both feet on the ground.
I suspect the person in the Steinert photogaph was running, in which case there is no time when both feet are on the ground:

I'd like to believe it was a single frame, but it seems the simplest explanation is a camera on tripod for several frames. On one frame there is a blurred pedestrian, whole body... but it is superimposed through a vignette as a combination print onto a blank sidewalk frame.
APUG forgive me...
But can you do it?
