When it debuted in 2001, the 991 successfully introduced the stylized technical design of the new millennium to the rarefied air of the 990 series with visible technology midsole inserts that revealed the internal ABZORB cushioning for the first time, a streamlined toebox shape, and overlays featuring more open, expansive cutout sections. The new Stray Rats MADE in UK 991 employs the influential streetwear label’s subculture informed abandon and strong use of color to create a playful take on the 991’s aggressive visual stance. An upper construction featuring pigskin with nubuck overlays is accented with synthetic nubuck and reflective details. Outfitted in a contrasting mix of bold colors and neutral tones, the premium, Flimby made quality and high-tech performance heritage are reimagined as a nod to the brightly colored firepower of vintage robot and mech figures, complete with co-branded inserts and ‘//stray’ branding at the lateral forefoot serving as accessories included.
