Retro Neon-Accented Sneakers

The New adidas Yung-96 Sneakers Draw Vintage Design Elements

Sportswear label adidas introduces the new Yung-96 sneaker model -- it is completely inspired by its archival designs to highlight retro elements of the Yung-1 silhouette. The latest footwear iteration showcases some cues of the classic vintage running shoes with a colorway that feature hues of navy blue, orange, and gray.

The uppers boast a layering construction with branding details in the form of the Three Stripes, complete over the lateral side and the medial area. All of this sits on top of a thick midsole complete in white with subtle details infused in vibrant 'Frozen Yellow' over the outsoles to all be rounded out by the branding trefoil emblem over the sneaker's heel area and tongue tab.
