Yung-1

The Yung-1 is one of the most popular retro-inspired, dad-style shoes to come from adidas in 2018. First leaked in December of 2017 before ultimately seeing the light of day, the design resurrects the Falcon Dorf of the ‘90s and pairs its upper with a revamped sole unit. A special gum-soled version of the design debuted as a WARDROBE.NYC exclusive in June of 2018, while subsequent releases saw exclusive colabs with the likes of Solebox, END., Sneakersnstuff, and size?. The Yung-1 also made an appearance as a part of adi’s coveted Dragon Ball Z collaboration with a Frieza-inspired purple and white colourway.
