Y-3 brings sports to the street. Fueled by the innovations of Adidas and expressed in the style of Yohji Yamamoto, Y-3 creates progressive apparel, footwear, and accessories, a vision driven by both the sports icon and the renowned designer. Founded in 2002, Y-3 established the category of fashion sportswear, one that it continues to redefine.

Y-3’s signature style combines engineered garments and intensive performance with Yamamoto’s singular elegance and strong tailoring. The result is a modern uniform of the streets, designed in Japanese and German ateliers and intended for the world.

Continuing adidas and Yohji Yamamoto’s renegade exploration of elevated sportswear, Y-3’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection focuses on the concept of Contra-Natural – a world in which the duality between the organic and the synthetic produces unexpected beauty. With visceral juxtaposition as its ethos, the collection offers a nod to the delicately poised tension at the heart of the Y-3 brand: adidas’ legacy of sporting innovation coming together with Yohji Yamamoto’s elegant, avant garde, aesthetic philosophy.From concept to execution, the ideological collision of the natural and the artificial manifests in a bold, collection-wide, color palette. The brand’s signature pantones are all present – Y-3 Black, Solid Gray, and White – but this season they’re complimented with Clay Brown, Mesa, Shadow Red, and Mint. Staying true to the collection’s thematic impetus, the quartet of new colors takes inspiration from the process of oxidation, with nature taking over metal, turning rusty burgundy into an acidic mint.
