As part of their ongoing efforts to challenge established norms in the sporting world, Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto have released the Y-3 Kyasu shoe, which features a minimalistic design.

In March 2023, during Yohji Yamamoto's show at Paris Fashion Week, the Y-3 Kyasu was presented for the first time on the carpet. It is a rough and minimalistic embodiment of the convergence between the sporting tradition of Adidas and the rogue style of the Japanese designer.

Originating from a plan by the Y-3 creative team to produce a shoe that mimicked an Adidas Superstar molded in concrete, the Y-3 KYASU is an intent to question the traditions that are associated with the design of sneakers.

The key components of the exceedingly basic construction that the boundary-pushing design itself features are a rubber-material shell-toe top, an inflated PU midsole, a suede top, and laces.

Due to the omission of an insole, the top is sewn straight onto the midsole, which is a soft as well as lightweight material. This results in a style that is both aggressive and expressive.

A dramatic shape that instinctively reflects Yohji's experimental design concept is offered by the Y-3 Kyasu, which features a fully foldable upper along with a thick outer sole unit that resembles bricks. The Adidas Y-3 Kyasu can be stood upright.

Each of the low-top and high-top incarnations of the model has been made in three different color schemes: white, red, and black. Additionally, subtle branding has been applied to the tongue flap of the shoe.

The description of the Adidas Y-3 Kyasu A sneaker on the company’s site reads:

“The Y-3 Kyasu Hi skews conventional design and focuses instead on minimalist expression. Without any glue or lining, the tooling is crafted with a one-piece polyurethane build, and the single-layer premium leather upper is stitched onto the irregular, concrete-like structure. The result is a completely raw interpretation of a shoe and an entirely new interpretation of an adidas icon.”
