y-3

Y-3 is the celebrated partnership between Japanese master designer Yohji Yamamoto and German sportswear giant Adidas. Established in 2002, with its first collection debuting in 2003, the brand is credited with pioneering the now-ubiquitous category of luxury sportswear. The name itself signifies the union: the 'Y' for Yohji Yamamoto, the '3' for Adidas’s signature three stripes, and the hyphen representing their collaborative bond. Y-3 merges Yamamoto’s avant-garde and deconstructed design principles—often expressed through oversized silhouettes, complex draping, and a predominantly black palette—with Adidas's deep expertise in athletic innovation and performance fabrics.
