Adidas Falcon W BB9173 (Pair)

Adidas was far ahead of the prevailing dad sneaker wave thanks to shoes like its Ozweego output with Raf Simons, and the brand continues to excel in the space with new and old designs alike. Its latest entry into the category nails the trademarks of the trend, but actually isn't for dads at all.

Inspired by the brand's 1997 Falcon Dorf sneaker, Adidas Originals has introduced a new women's-exclusive known simply as the Falcon.

With a midsole and tooling reminiscent of the Falcon Dorf, this model has a revamped upper which replaces the original's Three Stripes branding with a smaller Adidas emblem and trefoil symbol. Its mesh bash is accented with suede and leather overlays, along with a few reflective hits for good measure.

Debuting in a multicolor "Core Black/Core Black/Light Granite" makeup, the Falcon arrives Saturday, June 2 at 3 p.m. ET for $150 from adidas.com and can also be found from select Adidas Originals retailers.
