"Y-3 is a strong examination of the blend of sport and style and the tension caused by mixing tradition with all that is modern."  — Yohji Yamamoto Y-3 builds on the legend of the famed adidas Nizza basketball shoes, using them as inspiration to create the experimental style and completely new look of the Nizza High. Exaggerated tooling creates a more sculpted shape for an elevated take on the timeless silhouette. The full canvas upper features frayed edges, purposefully designed to fray even more with wear. Combined with a hand-brushed toe cap, the result is an unapologetically rugged aesthetic.
