Fashion brand Y-3 continues to bring forth the imagination of Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto and adidas together -- the latest highlights the adidas Prime X 2.0 silhouette. The duo takes the Adizero Prime X 2.0 Strung model and turns it into a carbon-style silhouette.

It is led by the off-white tonal palette and rests on top of a white color unit. It was already an impressive model to begin with and the new look is stylistically elevated. Each shoe is made from Strung material, which is a unique textile innovation by the German brand by transforms data into a physical material. It is cased in a series of carbon ENERGYRODS that are embedded inside of the oversized midsole.
