A refined expression of Y-3’s signature balance between avant-garde minimalism and utilitarian sport design. This pair captures Yohji Yamamoto’s understated aesthetic through a stripped-back silhouette, elevated by subtle branding and thoughtful material contrast. Constructed from a durable black canvas upper, the shoe carries a structured yet flexible feel, sitting atop a textured rubber sole that adds both grip and a sculptural presence. The tonal black execution is broken only by the crisp white Y-3 logo and Yohji Yamamoto script on the lateral side: an intentional, graphic statement without excess. The interior is lined with soft perforated leather and textile, offering a surprisingly premium feel against the foot, while the high-top profile provides a clean, modern line that works effortlessly across both streetwear and more directional wardrobes. At the heel, a molded Y-3 plaque in a beige tone adds a subtle signature detail. This is a piece that sits comfortably between sneaker and design object: functional, wearable and distinctly Y-3. Details Model code: AC7517 Size: US 5, UK 4.5, EU 37 1/3, JP230 Insole length 23 Color: Black Material: Canvas upper, leather/canvas lining, rubber sole Made in China Release period: circa 2017 These sit perfectly in a minimal/avant-garde wardrobe. Pair with wide-leg black trousers and cropped jacket for a Yohji-inspired silhouette. Works effortlessly with techwear (cargo pants, nylon layers) for a modern urban look. For contrast, style with light tailoring (grey wool trousers and oversized blazer) to blur formal and street. They’re understated enough for daily wear, but carry enough design identity to elevate a simple outfit. General condition of the item: Very good.
