(Herzogenaurach, Germany)—adidas Originals steps forward with new iterations of two of its most popular contemporary silhouettes this month, applying a range of striking colorways to the Yung-96 and Falcon models. Channeling elements of ‘90s footwear design in each of their silhouettes, the release places the nostalgic appeal of classic sportswear aesthetics front and center. Both models boast a mesh construction with suede and nubuck overlays, placed atop a lightweight EVA midsole with a durable rubber outsole, while a number of accents complete the picture. On the Yung-96 model, this is drawn out by the shoe’s timeless panel design, complete with 3-stripe mark and an aggressive midsole tooling, while the two colorways—contrasting variations of Black/Grey/Acid Green—nod to the dynamic color palettes of classic ‘90s models. Meanwhile, the Falcon silhouette assumes a vastly different mode, offered in vibrant Gold/Pink and Red/White/Blue colorways with a number of accents. The shoe’s EVA midsole is finished with a classic Torsion™ bar, while adidas Trefoil logo hits on the forefoot, heel and tongue round off the shoe’s nostalgic feel. The Yung-96 and Falcon models release worldwide on December 6th.
