Y-3 is back and presenting the final chapter of its Fall/Winter 2022 collection. It is the fourth installment of the brand’s thematic narrative: “20 Years: Recoded.”
Chapter 4 celebrates one of the label’s most revered and enduring motifs: exotic prints.
Subversively exploring the annual theme, this latest chapter draws on Yohji Yamamoto’s rebellious spirit.
As Y-3 shifts its creative focus to a textured concept—Memories of Exotics—the German sportswear brand and the Japanese visionary pay homage to the legacy of animal prints and iconography.
The collection features a selection of apparel pieces that harmonize leopard prints and expressive fabrics with muted colors, functional details, and dynamic, athletic silhouettes.
The Y-3 TERREX SWIFT R3 GTX, the Y-3 ULTRABOOST 22, the Y-3 RUNNER 4D, the Y-3 QASA, and the Y-3 MAKURA are given a new design in an earthy color palette.
The striking images were shot by Heji Shin under the creative direction of Jamie Reid. Styling was by Robbie Spencer.
adidas Y-3 is available at AFEW-Store, Allike, Asphaltgold, SUPPA, and VooStore.
