After being delayed in 2014, this original colorway of the Fila 97 is finally set to return.

They were first slated to drop last October but due to unforseen circumstances, they were delayed indefinitely. After seeing the 'Black Out' colorway drop in January, Fila is now ready to drop their second colorway of the Grant Hill III silhouette. This pair, known as the 'Tradition' edition comes in the original navy, red and white colorway. They feature a combination of navy blue Filabuck and white tumbled leather on the upper, split up by a red red stripe in the middle. The sneaker is finished off by the original outsole and midsole, unique to the Grant Hill III from 1997.

The 'Tradition' 97 hits fila.com as well as select Fila retailers on Friday, Feb. 13.
