Coming fresh off the heels of a contemporary revamping of the much-loved Kobe 1, adidas Originals has now announced another new silhouette for the 2017 fall/winter season. Inspired by pieces from the adidas archive, the Swift brings together classic design elements of running models with modern features to create an aesthetically striking and practically versatile silhouette. Coming in white for men and “Icey Pink” for women, the new unisex sneaker features a full Primeknit upper, top to bottom tonal construction, and multi-color yarn embroidery on the vamp and heel. Tapping up classic athletic models, the silhouette is finished off with an injection-molded EVA midsole with TORSION® midfoot system.

Keep your eyes open for the Swift on the official July 27 drop date, and — in the meantime — check out the first trailer for adidas Originals’ new film with Daniel Arsham.
