Y's by Yohji Yamamoto works in collaboration with Dr. Martens once again as it unveils a special pair of the Forester ZEB Y's Sandals set to join the Spring/Summer 2022 season. The shoe has an open-toe design and sits on top of a chunky base foundation.
At the base, there is the elevated Sharksole unit by Y's added along to hold the Dr. Martens' Forster webbing sandals at the top. There is also the application of urethan rubbed that is included at the footbed and the outsole foundation. This allows the shoe to reduce the overall weight in order to maximize comfort. Branding details can be found embossed on the straps and detailing on the buckles.
