Jovani Hernandez Although overshadowed by the mainstream popularity of his brand-mates Beyoncé and Kanye West, Yohji Yamamoto has been churning out status quo-challenging designs via adidas since 2003. The latest ablution to the partnership’s storied catalog arrives in the form of the black and white adidas wrestling shoes girls 2017 IO.
While still ostensibly in its sample phase, the silhouette embraces an unfinished aesthetic. Knit uppers are shrouded by a transparent one-piece overlay featuring a white grid pattern. Profiles feature stark black contrast, with lateral sides boasting co-branding of the same color. As seen through the pair’s cover, bases are laden with similar accents, but “Y-3” and 3-Stripes branding overtake the lateral and medial profiles, respectively. Unlike the first two iterations of Yamamoto’s black and white adidas wrestling shoes girls 2017, the IO version features a taller tongue, stitched overlay across the toe box, and pull tab at the heel. Furthermore, Y-3’s forthcoming silhouette forgoes the “Aero Green” color scheme of the original FUTURECRAFT midsole in favor of an all-black arrangement much more aligned with the sub-label’s catalog.
Full release details of an adidas.com launch are still unknown, but that’s likely to change in the coming months. In the meantime, enjoy a first-look at the pair here below.
