The adidas Yung 96 “Orca” Is Dropping Tomorrow

The chunky sneaker trend has been on fire this summer, and the Three Stripes has played their part in fanning the flames with striking releases like the adidas YUNG-1 and the Kylie Jenner-approved adidas Falcon. That’s not all they’ve got cooking however, as the YUNG-96 — a modified take on the YUNG-1 — is set to drop tomorrow. Although the shoe does feature the same multi-paneled upper style and aggressive midsole detailing as the YUNG-1, it also offers a slightly sleeker take on classic retro styling so the wearer isn’t required to go full-on “dad mode.”

The “Orca” colorway of this new silhouette features a striking split black and white look. About half of the upper — the tongue, throat, heel, toebox and lateral/medial midfoot — are dressed in a pitch-dark black, while an elegant white leather mudguard and midfoot panels offer a stark contrast. Blue jeweled logos on the tongue and heel provide branding, and the two-tone upper sits on top of an off-white midsole/outsole combo that offers striking detailing and completes the shoe’s look. These new Yung 96s are set to release tomorrow, August 30th on adidas.com, and will retail for an even $100 USD.
