adidas Originals impresses with its exploit to make bulky kicks look cool. YUNG-96 is another series inspired by the 90s style. The shoes are bold and eccentric with a mix of contrasting colours and fabrics. adidas combines mesh, nubuck and faux suede in a montage of attractive designs. Chunky silhouettes are distinctive to look at and super easy on the feet. The midsole YUNG-96 is made lightweight and cushioned thus inviting comfort for a full day wear.
A rubber outsole ensures durability. adidas marks its Original stamp with the three stripes that are spread across the midfoot and tongue and heel portion. The stripes fall unvaryingly on the Trefoil badges.
The sleek chunky footwear duality pushes style and attitude forward, each step marked by bold contrasts. For adidas originals, the first step of the journey of the Yung series started with the YUNG 1 shoes. The YUNG-96 will be dominated by shoe base coloured in shades of white. White reflective underlays are complemented by silhouette of black /charcoal /yellow, off-white/white/orange, and two-tone gray/lime green colorways. There is subtle pop to the adidas Originals YUNG-96 design with these shades. Our heart is on the pair painted in Core Black, Legend Ivy and Raw Ochre. That sole’s got some vibrant colour!
