Yohji Yamamoto's brand Y-3 works in collaboration with adidas Originals once again to continue their long-time partnership and this time, the two deliver the Y-3 Stan Smith sneaker model. It has a minimal design language, which is true to the original tennis shoe complete with three rows of perforations as the Three-Stripes branding.
It is now available to shop and comes in two colorway palettes with a monochromatic look. It kicks off with a matte black outsole unit that supports a white leather upper and black tongue. The second colorway highlights an even stealthier palette with an all-black look with a white tongue to contrast. Both of the shoes are complete with a portrait graphic visual of Yamamoto.
