Last year, the FILA Bubbles silhouette was pulled out of the vault and reintroduced for the first time since 1997. This year, fans and collectors who missed out on the Black Friday 2015 retro have another chance to purchase the chunky hightop sneaker this week in its OG colorway. With a black and white upper constructed with a combination of mesh, tumbled leather and FILA buck, the shoe’s main feature is a hard-to-ignore series of four bubbles embedded into the midsole which increase in size from the toe to the heel. Inside the clear spheres, F-I-L-A branding is spelled out letter by letter, which, in conjunction with the unique lacing system, makes for a throwback profile that’s guaranteed to grab the attention of those around you.

Look out for the FILA Bubble releasing on December 16 with a custom draw box with branded tissue paper on FILA.com for $100 USD (men’s sizes) and $75 USD (kid’s sizes).
