Thanks to the retro sneaker trend that's all the rage these days, hype surrounding old school silhouettes is currently at an all-time high. With a JJJJound x adidas Samba collaboration on the horizon, Yohji Yamamoto has now taken the wraps off his rendition of the Gazelle with the aptly-named adidas Y-3 Gazelle Pack. Revealed on the partnership's 20th anniversary, if you're a fan of his previous work then you're going to adore this collection.
Dating back to the early '60s, the Gazelle has been a Three Stripes staple long before many of you were even born. For his version, Yamamoto has revealed two colorways including the "Off-White" and "Black." Both pairs switch out the usual all-leather construction in favor of a buttery suede outfit, and loose stitching throughout showcases the godfather of Japanese fashion's world-renowned avant-garde aesthetic. Abstract Three Stripe branding adorns the lateral and medial panels alongside the designer's name in silver foil, and to round it all off, a dash of leather features around the heel complete with debossed Y-3 branding.
The adidas Y-3 Gazelle Pack is set to release in January 2023 in men's sizes at adidas, Y-3, and select retailers globally. Expect a premium retail price of $270. Let us know what you think of this coveted collection, and make sure you keep it locked on Sole Retriever's Twitter and Mobile App for the hottest sneaker and streetwear news, releases, and raffles.
