The Three Stripes has found success in the lifestyle market over the past few years by modernizing archival ’90s models to create new silhouettes that combine modern-day flair with heritage stylings, like the Yung 1 and the adidas Falcon. Now, another model is set to join the golden age-inspired ranks: the adidas FYW S-97, dressed in a combo of white, navy, and red. Inspired by 1997’s Salvation, the FYW S-97 takes the puffy upper of the Salvation and streamlines it, slimming down the silhouette slightly with a combo of a mesh base and protruding leather overlays. Some OG details are left intact as well: the tongue and lacing system remain largely unchanged, as does the midsole — save for the exclusion of a cartoon character that originally graced the lateral heel, replaced instead by a simple branded hit. Get a first look at the new adidas EQT kicks/the original Salvation below, and expect a release on February 16th at adidas.com and select Consortium stockists worldwide.
