Sporty Sleek Lifestyle Sneakers

The New Y-3 Footwear Collection Features Timeless Designs

The seasonal Y-3 footwear collection is set to join the brand's roster for the Fall 2022 season and it is part of the wider Memories of Orange series. The footwear collection kicks off with the Y-3 Gazelle shoe, which is updated with a larger and more intricate sole unit foundation.

It is accented with Y-3 branding and boasts tonal options of black or off-white. This is then followed by the classic Y-3 Qasa High sneaker with a bright orange textile throughout the upper and suede details -- it sits on top of an off-white tubular sole unit. The Y-3 UltraBOOST 22 gets an all-white colorway with a Primeknit upper and is enclosed by a molded TPU cage for support.
