Y-3

Y-3 is a groundbreaking luxury sportswear brand born from the historic collaboration between Yohji Yamamoto and adidas, launched in 2002 as one of the most influential and enduring partnerships in the history of fashion, fundamentally redefining the relationship between high fashion and athletic performance by merging Yamamoto's avant-garde Japanese design philosophy with adidas's unrivalled sporting heritage and technical innovation. The brand's name derives from Yohji Yamamoto's initial 'Y' combined with the three stripes of adidas, symbolizing a creative union that has consistently produced collections of extraordinary originality — architectural silhouettes, deconstructed tailoring, and performance footwear that occupy a unique space between the runway and the street. Y-3 has become the definitive reference point for luxury athletic wear, inspiring an entire generation of designer sportswear collaborations while maintaining its own singular identity as a brand that refuses to compromise on either aesthetic vision or functional excellence.
