adidas introduces a new set of retro colorways for it's signature FYW S-97 sneaker model. The latest range features warm and cool tonal options, with references to retro eras, informed through the different textural patterning throughout the uppers. The midsoles feature clean white details and some beige accents constructed from suede materials to add additional overt details.
There are hues of blue and the brand's 'Semi Coral' color decorating the uppers in streaks. This is meant to reference notebook covers with additional contrasting elements at the black outsoles and the branding. The tongue features the adidas Equipment details through embroidery. The new set of FYW S-97 colorways are set to launch starting tomorrow online at adidas and at select stockists.
