Established in 2002, the unique partnership that is Y-3 – ‘Y’ stands for Yohji Yamamoto and ‘3’ symbolises adidas’ iconic three stripes – fuses luxury sportswear with statement-making fashion. The concept for the collaboration was born from the Japanese designer watching New York businessmen walking briskly on their way to work, where they would then change into formal shoes for the office. The collection blends both of the labels’ signature hallmarks: technologically advanced activewear underscored with avant-garde design. Look out for the lighter-than-air Runner 4D Halo trainers, the classic Gazelle re-worked with Sashiko stitching and the chunky 1980s-inspired Rivalry style with a B-ball twist.
