Japanese minimalism is what made Yohji Yamamoto’s adidas Y-3 imprint such a resounding success. Dedication to quality materials and unique technology gave performance and lifestyle models usually outstanding price-points but also a dedicated fanbase hungry for more. The adidas NMD seems to be in that same category, in a much more affordable sense, given the full-length Boost cushion system and a Primeknit woven upper complete with a slip-on fit. For $170, you can get an awesome performer full of comfort and a sleek design that challenges the Ultra Boost as the most aesthetically-pleasing recent three-stripes offering. It makes sense that the three stripes are paying Japan some love, as the latest pair features 3-stripe branding in Japan’s Katakana writing system that translates to “3-Stripe Boost”. Check out the black and white adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 Zebra 23cm below and stay tuned for a release date Floral this Spring.
