adidas is returning to the 90’s for their latest silhouette. Early images and sightings have plagued sneaker articles for months, and we are proud to present the first official images of the shoe. Introducing the adidas Yung-1 “Collegiate Navy”.



The adidas Yung-1 is almost here. The semi-new silhouette from the Three Stripes has gathered a mixed reaction from sneakerheads, so the Yung-1 is sure to be an eye-catching model. First leaked in Summer 2017, the model is almost exactly the same as the adidas Falcon-Dorf, an old 90’s runner. However, the new version removes the old adidas Performance logos, instead opting for the Originals Trefoil on the tongue.

Bringing back the Falcon-Dorf as the Yung-1 is an excellent move for adidas. In the last year, chunky runners (otherwise known as “dad” shoes) have taken over the sneaker and fashion scenes. Oversized soles with layered mesh and suede uppers are back, and the Three Stripes has an entire archive of classic models to choose from. Having found success in this lane with the Yeezy 500 that is beginning to arrive in consumers’ hands, adidas did what they do best and dove into their archives for a very timely revival. The revamped Yung-1 features a mesh base for the upper with swirling suede layers centered around the midfoot stripes. The midsole features a series of scored lines as well as a high arch that are geared toward better support in the shoe.

The latest silhouette in the adidas Originals arsenal has been spotted in numerous colorways already. The Yung-1 first revealed in a cream color scheme, pairs decked out in bright orange began to surface online. Soon after, rumors of a collaboration between adidas and Dragon Ball Z that included the new Yung-1. Now, we have our first look at the shoe in official images from adidas. The upper of this new colorway is dominated by a bright red hue, with navy blue accents featured prominently as well. The toe box and eyestays come in chalk white, matching the midsole.
