Style of the adidas flashback shoes blue sneakers 2017

The dad shoe trend is not slowing down. That’s why brands like Adidas are digging into their ’80s and ’90s archives, looking for a chunky, blocky silhouette deserving a revival. And so the brand found the 1997 FYW S-97, a fat trainer with a unique silhouette.

The FYW S-97’s zigzags or waves, along with its vivid color blocks, reflective accents, and hits, exude a terrific ’90s feel, evoking nostalgia. Its fat, strange-looking midsole serves as the anchor of its dad shoe look. With all that, the FYW S-97 pops out with style in any kind of wear. Be it casual, sporty, or athleisure wear. The ’90s baggy look as well as the modern minimalist, tapered-down style go incredibly well with these sneakers.

Notable Features

Its silhouette has big reasons for being hefty as it is rich in tech, which was ahead of its time. Though its size is quite tamed now compared to the original, this updated FYW S-97 has all the key tooling it had before, such as the FYW sole technology, the Torsion-embedded EVA midsole, and adiPrene insert.
