Revamped Retro Paneling Sneakers

adidas Originals Unveils the New Falcon Dorf Runner Sneakers

Sportswear label adidas Originals officially drops the new Falcon Dorf Runner sneakers, which are essentially an elevated iteration of the brand's classic Falcon shoe that was first released in 1997. The new version takes on a similar chunky silhouette with a blend of materials that make up its entire upper -- with touches of both mesh and suede materials in an overlaying process.

The latest Falcon Dorf Runner shoes are made in a gray, black, pink, and blue colorway option. The heel unit is molded and coated with reflective details, rounded out with a rubber midsole. The adidas Originals new update is currently only available in women's sizes and will be available for purchase beginning September 6 online at adidas.
