Matt Varga Few partnerships are as rock solid as adidas and Yohji Yamamoto, now over two decades since the iconoclast was given the sub-brand under the adidas umbrella. Though that relationship has been incredibly fruitful over the duration, there’s no denying that either partner remains committed to pushing the envelope of what adidas Y-3 means, recently taking the high-fashion design language into tennis for the first time.
Of course, reimagining beloved Three Stripes silhouettes remains priority #1, even after twenty-plus years in business. As runway brands begin rolling out their Spring/Summer 2026 collections in earnest, that’s unchanged for adidas Y-3’s part of the bargain. Arguably most notable of the upcoming set is the Stan Smith Low Pro, ushering the staple racquet sports silhouette into the dominant slim-sole movement, reformed with brogue-inspired hardware and following up a building revitalization effort after Thug Club took to the model.
Closing out the new offerings, the adidas Y-3 adizero RC6 bridges the gap between the brand’s performance roster and its lifestyle offerings, utilizing a race-ready upper build and lace unit with a flat, street-forward Lightstrike sole. Several returning faces are also on tap, from with the Y-3 adiZero Adios Pro 4 in a silver metallic and an earthy brown, the Y-3 Tokyo, the Y-3 Regu Low that mirrors the trendy Taekwondo, and the Nizzastar Hi.
No concrete release date for the adidas Y-3 SS26 collection has been revealed just yet, but the Three Stripes promises a lookbook going live soon which should accompany further details. In the meantime, catch studio shots of the footwear offerings below.
