The adidas Yung-1 is taking inspiration from our slithering friends for the latest “Snakeskin” colorway.

Covered in desert-inspired overlays of the reptilian texture, the retro runner rests on top of an off-white midsole and a subtle gum outsole to create a luxe take on the sneaker. Branding hits remain simple and concealed on this iteration’s panels, blending in three webbed stripes of white and natural linen for fabric contrast.

The adidas Yung-1 “Snakeskin” drops May 24 at select retailers like Sneakersnstuff, HBX and adidas.com for $149 USD.
