Following its outstanding debut earlier this year, adidas Originals have brought back the retro-flavoured YUNG-1 for another go, this time draped in a timeless ‘Cloud White‘ mix of neutral shades that really emphasises the masterful panelling on show.

In case you need a catch-up, the YUNG-1 is a reworked version of the adidas Falcon Dorf runner from 1997, taking the maximal, over-the-top design cues from the era and applying luxe materials and modern comfort tooling to create something savage and street-ready. This latest addition to the family is no exception, with subtle changes in the materials replacing the bold colour-blocking of the previous version. Suede, nubuck and woven nylon are all in play here, giving a lot of textural interest to complement the aggressively sculpted sole unit.

Meanwhile, the neutral colour scheme makes this pair surprisingly versatile, easily slotting into any outfit whatever your style. Head-to-toe streetwear? A no-brainer. Contemporary scandinavian minimalism? Go for it. The shape and materials are both top-notch, so you’ll be turning heads whether on the street, in the pub or at the office. Just make sure to invest in some sneaker protector to keep those whites looking white…

The adidas Originals YUNG-1 in Cloud White will be launching online 13th September at 00.01 BST at Aphrodite Clothing, with remaining pairs available in-store later that day. As usual, numbers are strictly limited, so make sure not to sleep if you want to secure your pair.
