The Adidas Trae Young 1 “Christmas” debuted on December 11, 2021. With a retail price tag of $140, these brilliantly executed sneakers were offered by the online stores of the shoe brand.

This pair engages in a statement-making configuration throughout the airy mesh top and dual-cushioned sole unit, similar to the majority of the Atlanta Hawks guard's ideas with the German sportswear juggernaut thus far. The cheerful Santa Claus, Snowman, and candy cane designs made with their respective hues appear on these shoes.

Functional elements along and on the tongue, as well as the heel, sport a vivid ruby hue that expresses the top-to-bottom print. For the bottom, the herringbone, linear, and radial traction choose a striking green, while the LightStrike and BOOST padding in the midsole choose a winter-friendly white.

The knitted outer of this limited-edition Adidas NMD R1 shoe is entirely decorated with patterns and motifs that are reminiscent of the festive season in red and white. The Trefoil branding of the brand receives a cheery makeover and is placed on the tongue tabs in keeping with the theme.

Snowflakes are also festooned on the heel pull tabs. Red and navy EVA foam, a trademark white BOOST midsole, and a black rubber outsole complete the final design elements.

Regarding the design of these sneakers, the pearlized heel and the ice rubber outer sole unit sparkle in the dark to demonstrate how light the Son of Chi may be. The midsole's light bounce also gives the shape a contemporary twist.
