The adidas Trae Young 1 Snakeskin is an iteration of the first line of signature basketball shoes specifically designed in collaboration with NBA player Trae Young. Featuring a grey and black upper made from textile material, the shoes showcase a unique snakeskin print that adds texture and visual interest to the design. The innovative lacing system includes an interior lockdown feature and a shroud covering the lace area. With the Lightstrike midsole for cushioning, energy return, and comfort during dynamic court movements, along with a torsion plate and heel counter for stability, these shoes redefine performance and style. Released on November 19, 2021, they are a perfect blend of luxury and functionality. Additionally, the seamless white textile upper with a scaly grey print, complemented by synthetic leather overlays in aqua, grey, and black, highlights the NBA star’s personal style. The podular midsole combines Lightstrike and Boost cushioning for a responsive ride, while the herringbone-traction rubber outsole ensures multi-directional grip on any surface.
