adidas Y-3 Kazuhiri

Hit the streets this season with one of the sleekest new styles from the adidas Y-3 line by Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. The Kazuhiri is part of the acclaimed designer’s Spring 2010 collection, from the ongoing collaboration between Yamamoto and the sports fashion brand. With the mid-cut trend hitting an all-time high this season, the adidas Y-3 Kazuhiri ups the ante on this emerging trend by adding a touch of higher-end fashion to a classic design.

At first glance, the adidas Y-3 Kazuhiri may appear to be a pretty basic-looking mid-cut, but look a bit closer and you’ll appreciate the design DNA injected into this slim-fitting silhouette. A combination of the luxe materials used, including soft full-grain cow leather for the upper, mixed with a matte coated canvas, give this modern-day court classic a refined edge.

Premium materials mixed with clever comfort features (including a padded heel, elastic collar, air mesh lining for increased breathability, plus a Poron performance sock liner) result in a stylish designer sneaker that makes for a classic and comfortable addition to your modern-day street style. Although these kicks are bit on the pricey side, keep in mind that you’re paying for quality, enhanced by the rich sport heritage of adidas and the fashion sense of Yamamoto, one of today’s top fashion designers.
