Quick Facts
- Y-3 and NEIGHBORHOOD team up for a new moto-inspired capsule
- The collab brings a Superstar shell toe to the adidas Nizza silhouette for a familiar yet unique design.
- The Y-3 NEIGHBORHOOD Collection will be released October 25, 2025.
When it comes to high fashion drenched in black and influenced by motorcycle culture, Japanese designers NEIGHBORHOOD and Yohji Yamamoto are clear standouts. In a new collaboration, the two brands bring together their Japanese heritage and motorcycle obsession on a new collection from Y-3, Yamamoto’s adidas sublabel, including a mash-up of two iconic adidas silhouettes into a brand new model.
Part of a Fall/Winter 2025 collaborative collection that includes moto-themed graphic jackets, pants, shirts, and more, the Y-3 NBHD Nizzastar Lo is the only sneaker from the partnership, bringing a Superstar shell toe to the adidas Nizza silhouette for a familiar yet unique design. So far, we’ve only seen editorial shots of the shoe on foot, but in classic Y-3 and NEIGHBORHOOD fashion, the shoe is a black-on-black shadow with the only contrast coming from white stitching across the midsole and side panel. Taking a classic Nizza silhouette with soft suede panels, the shell toe adds an abrupt aesthetic shift at the toe, perfect for kick-starting a fast bike.
NEIGHBORHOOD has been one of the most instrumental Japanese fashion brands for decades now, mixing high fashion and streetwear for frequent collabs with Vans and adidas, including triple-partnerships with the likes of CLOT on a pair of abbreviated shell-toe Superstars from 2023. That Superstar infatuation continued with two collab pairs in 2024, so the new interpretation with Y-3 serves as another interpretation of the classic sneaker for the NEIGHBORHOOD archives.
The Y-3 NEIGHBORHOOD Collection will be released October 25, 2025 through Y-3 and select retailers in-store and online. There are no details about the sizing and price of the Y-3 NBHD Nizzastar Lo yet, but if you keep it locked to the Sole Retriever mobile app, you’ll find out the info as soon as we do.
