RICH, Chinese-inspired touches decorate the uppers of the newest, wildest colorway of Trae Young 1, released by adidas Philippines locally on the eve of lunar new year.

The character for yin, the tiger in the twelve earthly branches of the traditional Chinese calendar — a perfect symbol for our new Year of the Tiger — is printed on the tongue and heel. Blue dominates, with touches of red, atop the Boost and Lightstrike base.
