Known for their urban ninja aesthetic and unique— but still recognizable — design twists on classic silhouettes, the adidas Y-3 sub-line has found an interesting middle ground between high and street style with their footwear. Now, the brainchild of designer Yohji Yamamoto and the Three Stripes has a speedy new silhouette set to hit the ground running soon: the Raito Racer. First premiered at a Y-3 fashion show earlier this year, the new kicks feature a race-ready low-slung Primeknit upper with abstract detailing around the lacing system and interwoven contrasting threads for extra style and support. Branding is provided by a Y-3 graphic on the tongue/a repeating print on the pebbled outsole, and the shoe is then completed with a full-length white Boost midsole. Yoji’s newest kicks will release in both black and grey December 13th for $330 USD, so check out a store list below to see where you can secure a pair come release day.
