[FILA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-x-fila-fw26) recently revived one of its most iconic archival silhouettes, the 94 sneakers, and the classic piece received two new colorways for the summer season. The traditional [chunky shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estazzo), originally named 'Venom' made their first debut back in 1994. The shoe's uppers are constructed from a blend of both leather and mesh materials, all sitting on top of a white midsole. Notably, the toebox sees the silhouette's signature detail of a viper fang design.

The first colorway option boasts nearly all-white hues across its uppers, with some minimal gray touches on the heel and tongue area, finished with a classic gum outsole. The second colorway delivers darker hues with all-black uppers and white midsoles to contrast. FILA's 94 sneakers are now available for purchase online at select retailers including [Zalando](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dockers-and-zalando), Snipes, Onygo and more.
