The bottom itself, however, is still piece-by-piece the same as any of the previous Consortium releases, bearing the typical bright green in contrast to the top half’s full black upper. Among hardshell molds almost armor-like in presentation, Primeknit lying as a solid backdrop, and luxe smooth leathers at key points, the kit’s branding is surprisingly minimal, only preferring lateral chainstitch of Yohji Yamamoto’s elegant signature.



and Boost don’t often go hand-in-hand, but quite a few releases from the line-up’s past has broken the mold of its more technical aesthetics with an appropriate dosage of performance ethos. And while the sub-series hasn’t fully adhered to the patented inline brand of design, it has struck up a few tries at the Pure Boost, a release that was once one of the hottest sneakers on the market.

One of adidas’ mot iconic basketball sneakers in its illustrious history is none other than the Rivalry Hi, popularized by the game’s greats the likes of Patrick Ewing, and being revered for its bold, yet simple construction. Having returned to retailers recently in a clean black and white as well as a Ewing’s Knicks-friendly blue and orange, the high-top marvel is enjoying a bit of a resurgence, with the Three Stripe’s Y-3 partner set to kick things up another notch.

Dubbed the Hayworth, this silhouette adds Yohji Yamamoto’s signature luxurious aesthetic into the fold by way of am over-tumbled leather construction, exposed stitching, and Y-3 branding scattered throughout. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Y-3 sneaker without Yamamoto’s signature firmly inscribed onto its upper, taking shape on this offering’s throat as well as its ankle collar in a contrasting white tone.

As the Three Stripes continues to roll out their 3D-printed, light synthesis-utilizing Futurecraft technology, it’s gradually become more common to see them call upon their collaborative partners to add a special touch to the tech. After Taiwan-based Invincible adorned the Futurecraft 4D with a light rainbow gradient earlier this summer, adidas is now looking to Y-3 — one of their most esteemed and longest-tenured co-conspiritors for another new take on Futurecraft, and Y-3 certainly has not disappointed. After releasing their first 4D collaboration all the way back in February, Yoji Yamamoto’s iconic brand — known for their minimalistic yet futuristic designs — has now created another new silhouette that’s fit for the modern-day ninja: the Y-3 Runner 4D II.
