I have never really taken much notice of anything Y-3 if I am to be honest,I'd always associated the collaborative results of Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto as something of a passing fad and would end soon enough. However I now take that back as these have made me sit up and take notice more so than normal for a number of reasons. The colours and combination of different materials for one thing,muted tones with flashes of neon keeping them just under the level of ridiculousness needed to make someone think you work part time at Cyberdog.Suede,marl,leather and neoprene make up the upper along with faux reptile skin detailing on the heel,all sitting on what looks like an off cut of the Michelin man for a sole unit.
Utilising or taking inspiration from the ZX series for the lacing eyelets situated in a fashion not too disimilar from the Nike Air Current and sticking with rope laces for the extra neon oomph.With a sock liner to compliment the model as a whole and for comfort purposes I think these are amazing.I was a proud owner of a couple of pairs of Northwave in the 90s so these are a (over stylish) walk in the park comparatively and would wear without a second thought.
To be released soon at most Y-3 stockists.
