Avant-Garde Hiking Footwear

The Adidas Y-3 TERREX Swift R3 GTX is Technical Yet Stylish

— May 17, 2023 — Fashion
The Adidas Y-3 TERREX Swift R3 GTX is a footwear style created as part of the brand's latest collaboration with fashion icon Yohji Yamamoto that balances technical capabilities with adventurous accents.

The footwear style is crafted with a blend of textile, rubber and Neoprene, while the high-top construction fits snuggly to the foot and around the ankle. The puffy aesthetic of the hiking sneaker works with the laces and overall structure to give it an almost post-modern appearance that will look right at home on a trail, city streets or the desert landscape.

The Adidas Y-3 TERREX Swift R3 GTX hiking sneakers are lined with GORE-TEX to further enhance water resistance and protection from debris. Priced at $500, the sneakers are available now in an off-white color option.
