The V3 arrived in 2022 as the recycled-content revision of the silhouette, built with reclaimed polyester and plastic worked into the upper in place of virgin material. It is a material change more than a shape change, so the shoe keeps the sock-like collar, the moulded sidewall inserts and the Boost cushioning that define the family.
This kids' pair is done almost entirely in Royal Blue, a strong primary that covers the textile upper and the tonal Three Stripes alike, with Grey One handling the sole so the blue has a neutral base rather than a bright white one. That grey is the quieter choice and it lets the colour above sit heavier on the foot. It released August 14, 2022 at $140. A pull tab at the heel and the small Trefoil on the tongue are the only branding hits, and the outsole carries the same segmented rubber pattern as the adult model.
