Y-3 returns to present two new footwear releases from its Fall/Winter 2021 collection. Poetically infusing functional design with carefully considered stylistic elements, the Y-3 AJATU RUN, and Y-3 QISAN COZY sneakers viscerally explore the inherent duality of design, reimagining the brand’s DNA for the future.
Fuelled by adidas and Yohji Yamamoto’s shared commitment to ceaseless innovation, the Y-3 AJATU RUN blends forward-thinking design with timeless running aesthetics. Boldly reimagining the very nature of functionality, the silhouette’s vintage-inspired upper is crafted from a mix of premium suede, layered woven textile, and mesh and is capped off with rubber and neoprene details, as well as a classic lace closure. The sophisticated new silhouette is then elevated with adidas’ state-of-the-art Lightstrike cushioning technology, bringing a new level of comfort through a distinctive midsole that is unparalleled in its lightness.Â
Taking Y-3’s historically progressive approach to new heights, the Y-3 QISAN COZY reimagines inspiration from the brand’s past through adidas’ innovative lens. Drawing on one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes – the Y-3 QASA – the Y-3 QISAN COZY features a slip-on neoprene upper matched with suede and rubber details, as well as exaggerated heel and tongue tabs. The distinctive look is then rounded out with a Lightstrike cushioned midsole and a ridged rubber outsole designed to reveal the silhouette’s TPU rubber plate.
You can expect the Y-3 AJATU RUN and the Y-3 QISAN COZY to start releasing on August 5th at select retailers and adidas.com/y-3. Below, you can check out more images that will give you a closer look.
