It boasts a black and white color palette that resembles the signature [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/y3-stan-smith) [Superstar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-made-in-germany) sneakers. The shoe also has the same shell-toe design at the cap area with uppers that are made using soft tumbled leather materials and contrasting overlays that are seen in the form of branding stripes at the lateral side of the shoe. It can also be seen at the darker heel tab and the Y-3 logo that rests right under the collar. The premium materials continue throughout the shoe, making their way to the tongue and the inner lining area.
