Y-3 enters performance wear arena
Sportswear brand adidas and Yohji Yamamoto have released a performance wear collection, a departure from the usual ‘sports-fashion’ designs that the pair have been collaborating on for 20 years.

Y-3’s capsule of footwear, clothing and accessories is a “reimagination of adidas running products, reborn through Yohji’s perspective”.

The first footwear offering features four silhouettes – the Y-3 Boston 11, the Y-3 Takumi Sen 9, the Y-3 Ultraboost Light, and the Y-3 Runner 4D FWD – each with three stripes and Yohji Yamamoto signature details.

The Japanese designer said: “The sports world and its technology seek for necessity, practicality or functionality while fashion is seeking the opposite. Y-3 is a strong examination of the blend of sport and style and the tension caused by mixing tradition with all that is modern.”
