The collaboration began in 2001 when adidas created footwear for the “Yohji Yamamoto Femme/Homme” collection as “adidas or Yohji Yamamoto.”
The following year, Yohji Yamamoto was appointed creative director and Y-3, a brand that combines fashion and sports, was born.
The "Y" in Y-3 stands for Yohji Yamamoto, and the "3" stands for the three stripes that symbolize adidas. It is a sports fashion brand that combines adidas' specialized technology and functionality with the witty creativity of Yohji Yamamoto.
The collection consists of Men's, Men's and unisex clothing, footwear, bags and other accessories.
Since its debut at the Paris Collection in 2002, the brand has continued to attract attention from around the world.
