and wander and adidas terrex present their outdoor collection

Inspired by this innate desire to experience nature and a shared vision, adidas TERREX has teamed up with fashion-forward Japanese outdoor label and wander on a collection that will take hikers from city centre to mountain top (and back again) in style.

Since its inception, adidas TERREX has focused on providing people with the clothing and apparel they need to realize their individual goals in the outdoors and enjoy the benefits of nature.

Tokyo designers Keita Ikeuchi and Mihoko Mori, meanwhile, launched their own outdoor label and wander in 2011 to bring more creativity to outdoors wear. By pairing high-fashion design with the practical requirements needed for adventure, theirs is a modern approach to apparel that works both in the wild, and on the streets.  

Together, adidas TERREX and and wander have collaborated on a multi-seasonal collection that ties these philosophies together to help people enjoy more outdoors experiences.

adidas schließt zweites Aktienrückkaufprogramm ab

adidas hat sein zweites Aktienrückkaufprogramm in diesem Jahr abgeschlossen. Am 1. März 2022 hatte das Unternehmen den Start eines weiteren Aktienrückkaufprogramms für Mitte März angekündigt, um die Barerlöse aus der Reebok Veräußerung an seine Aktionär*innen zurückzugeben. Im Zeitraum zwischen 14. März 2022 und 10. Oktober 2022 hat das Unternehmen 8.978.138 Aktien im Gesamtwert von 1,5 Milliarden Euro zurückgekauft. Dies entspricht einem durchschnittlichen Kaufpreis von 167,07 Euro je Aktie.

Im Zeitraum zwischen 14. März 2022 und 10. Oktober 2022 hat das Unternehmen 8.978.138 Aktien im Gesamtwert von 1,5 Milliarden Euro zurückgekauft. Dies entspricht einem durchschnittlichen Kaufpreis von 167,07 Euro je Aktie.

Die Entscheidung, Aktien zurückzukaufen, um die Barerlöse aus der Reebok Veräußerung an die Aktionär*innen zurückzugeben, erfolgte zusätzlich zu den regelmäßigen Rückkaufaktivitäten des Unternehmens. Im Dezember 2021 hatte adidas ein mehrjähriges Aktienrückkaufprogramm gestartet, im Rahmen dessen das Unternehmen bis zum Jahr 2025 eigene Aktien im Wert von bis zu 4 Milliarden Euro zurückkaufen will. Die erste Tranche dieses Programms erfolgte im Januar und Februar dieses Jahres. In diesem Zeitraum hat das Unternehmen 4.156.558 Aktien im Gesamtwert von 1 Milliarde Euro zurückgekauft. Dies entspricht einem durchschnittlichen Kaufpreis von 240,58 Euro je Aktie. Unter Berücksichtigung beider Aktienrückkäufe hat adidas im Jahr 2022 13.134.696 Aktien für einen Gesamtwert von 2,5 Milliarden Euro zurückgekauft. Einschließlich der Dividendenzahlung in Höhe von 610 Millionen Euro im Mai hat das Unternehmen 2022 mehr als 3,1 Milliarden Euro an seine Aktionär*innen ausgeschüttet.

Hohe Cash Returns sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Unternehmensstrategie ‚Own the Game‘. Im Rahmen dieser Strategie beabsichtigt adidas, bis zum Jahr 2025 einen signifikanten kumulativen Free Cashflow zu generieren und den Großteil davon – zwischen 8 und 9 Milliarden Euro – über regelmäßige Dividendenzahlungen zwischen 30 und 50 Prozent des Gewinns aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen sowie Aktienrückkäufe an seine Aktionär*innen zurückzugeben. Ergänzt wird diese regelmäßige Ausschüttung durch das zusätzliche Aktienrückkaufprogramm in Höhe von 1,5 Milliarden Euro im Zusammenhang mit der Veräußerung von Reebok.

Wie bereits bekannt gegeben, hat das Unternehmen vor, den überwiegenden Teil der im Rahmen seiner Rückkaufaktivitäten erworbenen Aktien einzuziehen. Demzufolge wird adidas in den kommenden Wochen insgesamt 12.100.000 eigene Aktien einziehen. Dadurch wird sich die Aktienanzahl sowie das Grundkapital von 192.100.000 auf 180.000.000 verringern.

adidas beendet die Partnerschaft mit Ye

Nach eingehender Prüfung hat das Unternehmen die Entscheidung getroffen, die Partnerschaft mit Ye mit sofortiger Wirkung zu beenden, die Produktion von Produkten der Marke Yeezy einzustellen und alle Zahlungen an Ye und seine Unternehmen zu stoppen. adidas wird das adidas Yeezy Geschäft mit sofortiger Wirkung einstellen.

adidas dulde keinen Antisemitismus und keine andere Art von Hassrede. Die jüngsten Äußerungen und Handlungen von Ye seien „inakzeptabel, hasserfüllt und gefährlich“. Sie verstoßen gegen die Werte des Unternehmens, wie Vielfalt und Inklusion, gegenseitigen Respekt und Fairness.

Angesichts der starken Saisonalität des vierten Quartals dürfte sich dies kurzfristig mit bis zu 250 Millionen Euro negativ auf den Nettogewinn des Unternehmens im Jahr 2022 auswirken.

adidas ist der alleinige Inhaber aller Designrechte an bestehenden Produkten sowie an früheren und neuen Farbgebungen im Rahmen der Partnerschaft. Weitere Informationen werden im Rahmen der bevorstehenden Bekanntgabe der Ergebnisse des dritten Quartals am 9. November 2022 bekannt gegeben.

adidas gibt vorläufige Ergebnisse für drittes Quartal bekannt und senkt Prognose für Gesamtjahr

adidas hat vorläufige Geschäftsergebnisse für das dritte Quartal 2022 veröffentlicht und seine Prognose für das Gesamtjahr 2022 angepasst. Der neue Ausblick des Unternehmens spiegelt eine weitere Verschlechterung der Trends in Bezug auf das Kundenaufkommen in China sowie einen deutlichen Anstieg der Lagerbestände in wichtigen westlichen Märkten infolge der seit Anfang September gesunkenen Verbrauchernachfrage wider. Diese erhöhten Vorräte werden voraussichtlich zu verstärkten verkaufsfördernden Aktionen während des restlichen Jahres führen. Der aktualisierte Ausblick berücksichtigt auch mehrere Einmalaufwendungen, die sich im dritten und vierten Quartal des Jahres auf die Gewinnentwicklung des Unternehmens auswirken.

adidas hat vorläufige Geschäftsergebnisse für das dritte Quartal 2022 veröffentlicht und seine Prognose für das Gesamtjahr 2022 angepasst. Der neue Ausblick des Unternehmens spiegelt eine weitere Verschlechterung der Trends in Bezug auf das Kundenaufkommen in China sowie einen deutlichen Anstieg der Lagerbestände in wichtigen westlichen Märkten infolge der seit Anfang September gesunkenen Verbrauchernachfrage wider. Diese erhöhten Vorräte werden voraussichtlich zu verstärkten verkaufsfördernden Aktionen während des restlichen Jahres führen. Der aktualisierte Ausblick berücksichtigt auch mehrere Einmalaufwendungen, die sich im dritten und vierten Quartal des Jahres auf die Gewinnentwicklung des Unternehmens auswirken.

Basierend auf vorläufigen Zahlen verzeichnete adidas im dritten Quartal einen währungsbereinigten Umsatzanstieg von 4 %. In China ging der Umsatz auf währungsbereinigter Basis im starken zweistelligen Prozentbereich zurück. Dies ist den anhaltenden umfangreichen Covid-19-Beschränkungen sowie signifikanten Lagerbestandsrücknahmen zuzuschreiben. Ohne China verzeichneten die anderen Märkte des Unternehmens zusammengenommen im dritten Quartal auf währungsbereinigter Basis weiterhin einen zweistelligen Umsatzzuwachs. In Euro stieg der Umsatz des Unternehmens um 11 % auf 6,408 Mrd. €. Die Bruttomarge ging im dritten Quartal um 1,0 Prozentpunkte auf 49,1 % zurück. Die operative Marge belief sich auf 8,8 % (2021: 11,7 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen betrug in Q3 179 Mio. € (2021: 479 Mio. €). Die Gewinnentwicklung im dritten Quartal wurde durch mehrere Einmalaufwendungen in Höhe von knapp 300 Mio. € beeinträchtigt. Der Großteil dieser Aufwendungen steht im Zusammenhang mit der Entscheidung des Unternehmens, die Schließung seiner Geschäftstätigkeit in Russland zu initiieren. Darüber hinaus wirkten sich nicht wiederkehrende Kosten im Zusammenhang mit beschleunigtem Cash-Pooling in Ländern mit hoher Inflation, ein kürzlich beigelegter Rechtsstreit sowie höhere Rückstellungen für zollbezogene Risiken ebenfalls negativ auf Bruttoergebnis, Betriebsgemeinkosten sowie Finanz- und Steueraufwendungen des Unternehmens im dritten Quartal aus.

Infolge des nachlassenden Kundenaufkommens in China, der verstärkten Aktivitäten zum Abbau der hohen Lagerbestände (Anstieg um 63 % auf währungsbereinigter Basis zum Ende des dritten Quartals) sowie der Einmalaufwendungen von insgesamt rund 500 Mio. €, die sich im Jahr 2022 auf den Gewinn des Unternehmens auswirken, hat adidas seine Prognose für das Gesamtjahr nach unten angepasst. adidas geht nun für 2022 von einem währungsbereinigten Umsatzanstieg für das Gesamtunternehmen im mittleren einstelligen Prozentbereich aus (bisherige Prognose: im mittleren bis hohen einstelligen Prozentbereich), was einem Anstieg im zweistelligen Prozentbereich im vierten Quartal entspricht. Treiber dieses Wachstums werden die starke adidas Produktpalette, die FIFA Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2022 sowie eine vorteilhafte Vergleichsbasis zum Vorjahr sein. Das Unternehmen geht nun für 2022 von einer Bruttomarge von rund 47,5 % aus (bisherige Prognose: rund 49,0 %). Demzufolge wird mit einer operativen Marge von rund 4,0 % für 2022 gerechnet (bisherige Prognose: rund 7,0 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen wird erwartungsgemäß einen Wert von rund 500 Mio. € erreichen (bisherige Prognose: rund 1,3 Mrd. €).

Das Unternehmen geht davon aus, dass sich der Wegfall der Einmalaufwendungen in Höhe von rund 500 Mio. €, die im aktuellen Geschäftsjahr anfallen, entsprechend positiv auf die Gewinnentwicklung im Jahr 2023 auswirken wird. Darüber hinaus hat adidas angesichts des herausfordernden Marktumfelds ein Programm zur Geschäftsverbesserung aufgelegt, das darauf abzielt, die Profitabilität des Unternehmens im Jahr 2023 zu unterstützen. Im Rahmen dieses Programms hat das Unternehmen mehrere Initiativen gestartet, die darauf abzielen, die erheblichen Kostensteigerungen abzumildern, die sich aus dem Inflationsdruck entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette des Unternehmens sowie aus ungünstigen Währungsentwicklungen ergeben. Die verschiedenen Initiativen, die im vierten Quartal 2022 zu Einmalaufwendungen von rund 50 Mio. € führen werden, sollen im Jahr 2023 Kostennachteile von bis zu 500 Mio. € kompensieren. Darüber hinaus soll das Programm im kommenden Jahr den Erwartungen zufolge einen positiven Beitrag zur Steigerung des Unternehmensgewinns von rund 200 Mio. € leisten.

Christopher Wheat, Global Category Director Running Footwear said: “At adidas, we understand that change is not only possible, it’s an urgent necessity. With Made with Nature, we are on a journey to a world beyond plastic. We’re calling time on conventional materials and methods of make. Once depleted, there’s no coming back for fossil resources. But when we design in synergy with natural processes, when we make with nature, we can use materials that regrow or regenerate – and change the way products are made."

adidas: Y-3 Presents Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 4

Y-3 returns to present the closing chapter of its Fall/Winter 2022 collection. Representing the final iteration of the brand’s “20 Years: Recoded” thematic narrative, Chapter 4 boldly celebrates one of the label’s most revered and lasting motifs – exotic prints – as adidas and Yohji Yamamoto fearlessly reimagine historic looks and textures for a new era.

Subversively exploring the year-long theme of collective memory, the latest chapter draws on Yohji Yamamoto’s inherently rebellious spirit. With Y-3 shifting its creative focus to a distinctly textural concept – Memories of Exotics – the German sportswear brand and the Japanese visionary recall a legacy of animal prints and iconography, distorting iconic signifiers through a slew of all-over print graphics.  

The seasonal offering is highlighted by a selection of pieces that juxtapose leopard prints and fabrics with muted palettes, functional details, and dynamic sporting silhouettes. Curated as a daring blend of past and future, the collection clashes the brand’s heritage with its progressive vision for tomorrow.

Shot by Heji Shin with creative direction from Jamie Reid and styling from Robbie Spencer, the visuals channel a visceral, rather than understated, interpretation of Y-3’s past, present, and future.

adidas passt Prognose 2022 an: Umsatzrückgang für China erwartet

adidas passt seinen Ausblick für das Gesamtjahr 2022 an. Während die Ergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2022 angesichts der anhaltend starken Dynamik in den westlichen Märkten und der Rückkehr auf den Wachstumspfad in Asien-Pazifik die Erwartungen leicht übertrafen, verzeichnet das Unternehmen seit Beginn des dritten Quartals eine langsamer als erwartete Erholung des Geschäfts in China.

Bisher war das Unternehmen davon ausgegangen, dass der währungsbereinigte Umsatz in der Region – in Abwesenheit größerer Lockdowns ab dem dritten Quartal – im zweiten Halbjahr stabil im Vergleich zum Vorjahr bleiben würde. Nun rechnet adidas jedoch damit, dass aufgrund der anhaltenden umfangreichen Covid-19-Beschränkungen der Umsatz in China während des restlichen Jahres im zweistelligen Prozentbereich zurückgehen wird.

adidas passt seinen Ausblick für das Gesamtjahr 2022 an. Während die Ergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2022 angesichts der anhaltend starken Dynamik in den westlichen Märkten und der Rückkehr auf den Wachstumspfad in Asien-Pazifik die Erwartungen leicht übertrafen, verzeichnet das Unternehmen seit Beginn des dritten Quartals eine langsamer als erwartete Erholung des Geschäfts in China.

Bisher war das Unternehmen davon ausgegangen, dass der währungsbereinigte Umsatz in der Region – in Abwesenheit größerer Lockdowns ab dem dritten Quartal – im zweiten Halbjahr stabil im Vergleich zum Vorjahr bleiben würde. Nun rechnet adidas jedoch damit, dass aufgrund der anhaltenden umfangreichen Covid-19-Beschränkungen der Umsatz in China während des restlichen Jahres im zweistelligen Prozentbereich zurückgehen wird.

Infolgedessen prognostiziert adidas nun für das Gesamtunternehmen ein währungsbereinigtes Umsatzwachstum im mittleren bis hohen einstelligen Prozentbereich für das Geschäftsjahr 2022 (bisherige Prognose: im unteren Bereich der Spanne zwischen 11 % und 13 %). Basierend auf dem weniger günstigen Marktmix aufgrund des niedriger als erwarteten Umsatzes in China sowie der Auswirkungen der Initiativen zum Abbau der Überbestände in diesem Markt bis zum Jahresende wird sich die Bruttomarge des Unternehmens für 2022 den Erwartungen zufolge nun auf rund 49,0 % belaufen (bisherige Prognose: rund 50,7 %). Demzufolge rechnet das Unternehmen nun mit einer operativen Marge im Geschäftsjahr 2022 in Höhe von rund 7,0 % (bisherige Prognose: rund 9,4 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen wird den Erwartungen zufolge einen Wert von rund 1,3 Mrd. € erreichen (bisherige Prognose: im unteren Bereich der Spanne zwischen 1,8 Mrd. € und 1,9 Mrd. €).

Bisher hat das Unternehmen in den anderen Märkten keine nennenswerte Verlangsamung des Durchverkaufs seiner Produkte oder signifikante Stornierungen von Großhandelsaufträgen verzeichnet. Trotzdem berücksichtigt die angepasste Prognose vor dem Hintergrund der schwierigeren gesamtwirtschaftlichen Bedingungen für das zweite Halbjahr 2022 auch eine potenzielle Verlangsamung der Konsumausgaben in diesen Märkten.

Entgegen dieser negativen Vorzeichen erwartet adidas während der zweiten Jahreshälfte für das Gesamtunternehmen nach wie vor ein Umsatzwachstum im zweistelligen Bereich. Neben einer vorteilhaften Vergleichsbasis zum Vorjahr sind weitere Treiber der Beschleunigung die starke Produktpalette des Unternehmens in den kommenden Monaten, die Möglichkeit der Bestandsauffüllung bei Großhandelskunden angesichts der erstmals wieder vollständigen Produktverfügbarkeit, sowie die Unterstützung durch sportliche Großereignisse.

Basierend auf vorläufigen Zahlen stieg der Umsatz von adidas im zweiten Quartal auf währungsbereinigter Basis um 4 %. Dies ist auf starke zweistellige Zuwächse in Nordamerika und Lateinamerika, Zuwächse im hohen einstelligen Prozentbereich in EMEA (ebenfalls zweistelliges Wachstum ohne negative Effekte von Russland/GUS) sowie die Rückkehr auf den Wachstumspfad in Asien-Pazifik zurückzuführen. In Euro nahm der Umsatz um 10 % auf 5,596 Mrd. € zu. Die Bruttomarge des Unternehmens ging im zweiten Quartal um 1,5 Prozentpunkte auf 50,3 % zurück und die operative Marge belief sich auf 7,0 % (2021: 10,7 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen betrug im zweiten Quartal 360 Mio. € (2021: 387 Mio. €), unterstützt durch einen einmaligen, positiven Steuereffekt von über 100 Mio. € infolge der Auflösung einer in einem früheren Jahr gebildeten Rückstellung.

Rooted in a shared commitment to empower aspiring women athletes and hoopers – who like Parker set out to create their own legacy, the encore collection is the embodiment of Parker’s evolution on-and-off the court melding Ace’s style and performance insights for the next generation player.

The Candace Parker Collection Part II launches with the all-new Exhibit B, arriving in three custom colorways employing Lightstrike cushioning for fluid and dynamic handling. Each iteration of Parker's Exhibit Bs are inspired by her personal journey beginning with the “For Lailaa Nicole” receiving emerald green with silver accents in honor of her daughter. As for Parker, it’s not about “wearing the crown,” but about “sharing it” resulting in “Game Royalty”, a purple and gold colorway representing African queens followed by an ash blue and shadow navy for “Windy City” version signifying the hometown hero’s 2022 league title and rounded out by three unique Exhibit B “Elevated Team” colorways emphasizing the magic of teamwork.

The Candace Parker Collection Part II is an elevation for the new generation of athletes completed with a vibrant combination of pre to post-game apparel offerings including signature Ace sweatsuits, cropped jackets and hoodies, all paired with an assortment of tees and shorts that harken back to pivotal moments in Parker’s career. The return of inclusive sizing is paramount and purposeful, allowing Parker’s vision for expanded access to female and non-binary athletes who’ve traditionally had to size down to access men’s basketball apparel and footwear.

adidas launches its first product in collaboration with Spinnova

The adidas TERREX HS1 is one of the first knitted products to be made in part with Spinnova technology. At least 30% of the fabric in this mid-layer hiking hoodie comes from wood-based SPINNOVA® fibres (other fibres)* and 70% from cotton (organic).

Adidas is committed to helping End Plastic Waste via a three-loop strategy that consists of using recycled materials, materials that can be made to be remade and in the case of Made with Nature, products created in part with natural ingredients, such as the adidas TERREX HS1.

The product also works with the material’s natural color. Since no dyeing or bleaching is applied, in turn this uses less water compared to the standard dyeing process.

adidas introduces Y-3 Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 3: Memories of Orange

As Y-3 continues its ongoing 20th Anniversary celebrations, adidas and Yohji Yamamoto return to present the brand’s third seasonal offering. Building on the “20 Years: Re-Coded” thematic narrative, Chapter 3 is an auspicious ode to one of the brand’s most iconic colors – Orange – as Y-3 delves into the past in order to boldly envisage a visceral new future.

Audaciously exploring the theme of collective memory, the latest offering from Y-3 sees adidas and Yohji Yamamoto delve into their shared past to consider Memories of Orange . A synonymous symbol for Y-3, Orange has been the primary color of the brand’s logo for many years. For Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 3, the brand shines a light on this most iconic of signifiers, contrasting the luminosity of the pantone with black and neutral palettes, while simultaneously incorporating evocative references to a sport that has remained an unending influence – football.

The seasonal offering is highlighted by a selection of pieces that feature contrasting logos, bold blocking, and, of course, fluorescent Orange color palettes. Conceived as a harmonious cacophony of contrasts, the collection also boasts new takes on football crest logos and reimagined team sponsor graphics. Meanwhile an array of dynamic footwear sees the Y-3 HOKORI III , the Y-3 ULTRABOOST 22 , and a bright Orange colorway of the iconic Y-3 QASA take center stage, as well as ushering in the arrival of the brand’s expressive take on an archival adidas classic: the Y-3 GAZELLE .

Accompanying the launch of Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 3 is a powerfully energetic campaign shot by Thue Nørgaard with creative direction from Jamie Reid and styling from Robbie Spencer. Representing a continuation of the aesthetic language established in Chapters 1 & 2 the expressive visuals focus on control, determination, and boldness of spirit. Featuring a carefully chosen cast of rebellious figures, the models recode sporting movement as an artistic expression through explosively choreographed gestures. Warm lighting, meanwhile, is expressed through a digital backdrop composed of two different shades of orange and a nostalgic pastel blue, which come together to reference a sun at dawn. The result – a flood of luminescence that is at once an allusion to Y-3’s emergent beginnings and an ode to the brand’s original color.

adidas Originals and MRBAILEY announce their collaboration

Having first collaborated on the iconoclastic SST Ammonite shoe as part of the brand’s Catalyst for Change program in 2020, adidas Originals and MRBAILEY have come together once again to ignite the start of an ongoing partnership that will see the innovative designer reimagine the Trefoil’s futuristic OZWORLD family of silhouettes.

MRBAILEY is the founder of innovative footwear design studio CONCEPTKICKS. London-based but nomadic by nature, the progressive creator’s practice specializes in an approach to footwear innovation that is distinctly speculative in thinking and undeniably boundary pushing in execution.

Using the biological research that informed the SST Ammonite silhouette as its starting point and informed by the ethos “nature is our greatest luxury”, MR BAILEY’s collaborative partnership with adidas Originals will explore the innate systems of design within the marine habitat. Building on the inherent wonder and beauty of aquatic lifeforms through design techniques, the partnership promises to challenge the artificial distinction between man made production and the natural world.

adidas launches new Sportswear Capsule

adidas drops an all-new sportswear capsule. The collection is inspired by the way the next generation continues to turn tradition on its head with how they move through the world, opting for a fresh comfort-first mindset and rejecting old-world pressures.

To get closer to this mindset, adidas reached out to uncover more about the rise of the cosy fit. Nine in ten believe the clothes they wear impact how mentally comfortable they feel, and over three quarters say they are more likely to thrive in multiple aspects of life when rooted in a true feeling of comfort. With this in mind, adidas’ sportswear capsule is built for next-level comfort both at home and on the streets with a full collection of casual, stylish fits for both men and women.

Fronted by a raft of next generation trailblazers, including global award-winning actress Hoyeon, US gymnast sensation Nia Dennis, American football superstar Tua Tagavailoa, and Chinese national sprinting champion Xie Zhenye, the campaign reveals how choosing comfort in mind and body has given them confidence, more internal headspace, and the ability to embrace any challenges within their journey of progress.

adidas and Yohji Yamamoto Re-Introduce Y-3 QASA HIGH

When adidas and Yohji Yamamoto first took to the runway at Paris Fashion week in October 2002 for the inaugural Y-3 collection, the brand with the Three Stripes and the avant-garde Japanese designer changed the worlds of fashion and sportswear. Over ten years later, in 2013, Y-3 introduced one of its most loved sneakers to date – the Y-3 QASA HIGH. Upon arrival, the boundary pushing silhouette made an instant impact in culture, and, having been worn by many of the world’s most forward thinking tastemakers, continues to do so to this day. Now, as adidas and Yohji Yamamoto ring in 20 years of collaboration, the iconic sneaker makes its timely return.

With Y-3 looking back on key moments, designs, materials, and silhouettes from the brand’s history, the Y-3 QASA HIGH once again takes center stage. Instantly identifiable by its expressive EVA outsole, which borrows from adidas’ 90s Tubular running technology, the daring silhouette features a neoprene sock-like upper with stretch mesh, elasticated strapping, a leather toe-cap, and suede heel lining. The avant-garde take on a high top trainer is then completed with a Poron® performance sockliner for cushioning.
