If on the hunt for a pair of luxuriously casual suede sneakers, you do not need to look further than the Y-3 Super High. With a retail price of €299.90, the reimagined footwear model exudes elegance with a sporty flair. The silhouette is essentially an expansion of "[adidas' legacy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-y3)," that also affirms the luxe stylistic standards of the Y-3 label.

The casual suede sneakers have a gentle black upper that is strongly contrasted by the white tongue and sole. The footwear also boasts a [black rubber toe cap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-suede) that adds yet another noticeable accent. The model is tastefully detailed with Y-3 branding and a textural juxtaposition is reached through the soft suede, the leather, and canvas lining, as well as the waxed laces.
