Black Friday is turning out to be the biggest sneaker release day of the year, and now FILA is throwing their hat into the ring by bringing back a classic.

FILA has confirmed they will release the Grant Hill III, other known as the Fila 97, to complicate your holiday shopping list. This version of the 97 comes in a tumbled leather and Filabuck upper, with reflective detailing that acts as an underlay. FILA is trying to bring back what made them so successful in the early to mid '90s, and focusing on the signature shoes of Jerry Stackhouse and Grant Hill is definitely a move in the right direction. The shoes are finished off with the FILA branding on the midsole, and embroidered down the tongue. While these were a major performance shoe back when we first saw it, the 97 has since crossed over into the lifestyle category but don't sleep on breaking it out for some indoor hoops.

Check out the FILA 97 "Black Out" below, and scoop up your pair this Friday, November 28 for $97 at fila.com and FILA retailers.
