adidas and Yohji Yamamoto close out their “20 Years: Recoded” celebrations in subversive fashion – collaborating with Palace on a selection of apparel, accessories, and footwear. Marking the occasion, the London based brand have reinterpreted archival pieces from throughout Y-3’s history, putting their spin on a legacy of iconic designs.
The collection features an eclectic mix of signature Y-3 styles. Apparel highlights include: a reversible souvenir jacket, a reversible puffer jacket, a graphic football tee, a custom track top and track pants, a nylon wool coach jacket and matching pants, as well as a soft tailored blazer and matching pants. Adaptable details and bold graphics take center stage as stand out pieces from the accessories offering include: a foldable running cap, a running beanie, a skeleton print beanie, a cross body bag, and a bucket hat.
The collection also plays host to three collaborative versions of the archival Y-3 YUUTO sneaker. Comprising a textile upper with rubberized locks, a concealed internal lacing system, and an adiPRENE sole unit, the instantly recognizable look is capped off with co-branded Palace and Y-3 detailing.
Channeling both the rebellious spirit of Y-3 and the irreverent humor of Palace, the arrival of the collaborative collection is accompanied by an aphoristic campaign – realized through the lens of Jack Davison and styled by Robbie Spencer. A dynamic tribute to sporting heritage, the unforgettable visuals feature footballing icon, Zinedine Zidane, and skate legend, Lucas Puig. Launching alongside the images is a short film, which brings the duo together for a charismatic tête-à-tête.
