Y-3 Centennial

The Y-3 Centennial, a modern twist on the basketball shoe silhouette, stands out for its unique blend of classic adidas heritage and contemporary design. Tailored for sneaker enthusiasts aged 20 to 40, this sneaker distinguishes itself with an audacious aesthetic, a hallmark of the Y-3 collection.

Its upper is a skillful meld of various materials — leather, canvas, suede, and cracked leather — creating an intriguing mix of textures and layers. This eclectic combination not only adds depth to the sneaker’s appearance but also pays homage to Y-3’s commitment to innovative design. A notable feature is the wide forefoot, synonymous with Y-3’s court shoe legacy, offering comfort and a signature look.

The sneaker’s construction includes a reliable lace closure for a secure fit and a lining that combines leather and canvas for both comfort and endurance. The rubber outsole, sturdy and designed for longevity, provides excellent traction, making the sneaker as practical as it is stylish.

Yohji Yamamoto, the visionary behind Y-3, describes the Centennial as a reflection of the interplay between sport and style, blending tradition with the modern. This ethos is embodied in the sneaker, available in both high and low-top versions, making it a must-have for those who appreciate a fusion of athletic functionality with cutting-edge fashion.
