Standing at the pinnacle of fusing sport and high fashion, adidas Y-3 sub-label has begun to blur its intense design language with the casual aesthetics of its lifestyle archives. While its subsequent QISAN construction has been employed in seldom, the WFH-ready proposition now undergoes an all-new knife as its upper is rendered in a clad knit composition.

Constructed using the brand’s synonymous PRIMEKNIT upper, black and “Orbit Grey” hues come stitched together throughout the ensemble, accented by “Off-White”-treated suede detailing and color-matched laces. Illuminating the heel construction’s inspiration from elastic straps, a vibrant sky blue fills the latter alongside the forefoot’s contrasting trim and thin rubber mudguard for a lively injection. Underfoot, the exaggerated sole unit infuses a Lightstrike cushioning system dressed fully in the dull white tone before a semi-translucent finish is rendered across the tread in conclusion.

Currently available at Nordstrom’s for a retail price of $400, enjoy official images of the adidas Y-3 Qisan Knit “Grey/Blue” below while we sit tight on word regarding a stateside release.
