This season, adidas and Yohji Yamamoto continue their collaboration with the latest chapter of the Y-3 Fall/Winter collection. Y-3 presents a selection of hybrid pieces that explore the concept of “subverted function.”
To this end, clothing, shoes, and accessories are reinterpreted through the Japanese designer’s avant-garde perspective.
Drawing inspiration from adidas Heritage, Chapter 4 offers a variety of dynamic designs perfect for winter.
Clothing highlights include puffer shirts, parkas, and vests featuring metal zippers and an adjustable snap closure that allows the wearer to customize the fit. There’s also a selection of pieces featuring a distorted “Brushstroke Logo.”
In the footwear category, Y-3 is releasing two exciting silhouettes: the Y-3 GENDO and the Y-3 KYASU. The Y-3 GENDO reflects Y-3’s design philosophy. It’s based on the adidas Superstar but stands out thanks to a hollowed-out TPU plate.
The Y-3 KYASU will be available in high-top and low-top versions and features a brick-like outsole and embroidered upper. In addition, the iconic Y-3 SUPERSTAR, Y-3 MARATHON TR, and Y-3 GAZELLE silhouettes will be released in a monochrome colorway.
The collection is rounded out by a range of winter-ready accessories such as bags, leg warmers, gloves, scarves, balaclavas, and a vest bag.
Accompanying the launch of the latest Y-3 collection is a campaign that continues the narrative from Chapter 3. The focus shifts from Berlin’s music scene to the artists’ everyday lives.
The images, captured by photographer and casting director Valeria, showcase the city’s dynamic contrasts.
To stay true to Y-3’s identity, the photos feature local faces who have found their place in the city. For example, the painter and dancer Cecile, the sculptor and video artist Henri, the music producer Gabriel, the tattoo artist and painter Sabi, the agricultural science student Mareline, the art student Yuuki, and the DJ and music producer Jannis.
adidas Y-3 is available at AFEW-Store, Allike, Asphaltgold, SUPPA, and VooStore. Keep an eye on our Sneaker Release Calendar for these sneaker models.
