Muted Collaborative Shoes

Yohji Yamamoto & adidas Crafted the Takusan Sneaker Collection

Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto worked alongside with sportswear giant adidas to create a three-piece Takusan sneaker collection.

The offerings are perfect for the transition into the spring weather, as all three are created with a breathable cotton upper, wax laces and hand-cut rubber outsoles. Additionally, the shoes are also trimmed with cowhide for a more luxurious element.

The low-top version comes in either a black or white colorway and the high-top iteration has a full black colorway with white accents of the designer's signature found of the heel. The captivating three-piece Takusan collection by adidas and Yohji Yamamoto will be available at select retail locations and online at retailers for a starting price of $615.
