Footwear embraces the future-past aesthetic to create a range of innovative shoes that draw on adidas heritage while imagining a bold new 21st-century look. The shoes play fast and loose with elements of running, cross-training, and basketball, fusing them all in a glorious mix of fabrics and styles. While the pieces employ the most breakthrough adidas materials, they are designed in a naïve, hand-made, personal way, suggesting that a voyager from the future may have cobbled them together by him or herself.

Velvet women’s hiking boots come with a glossy, super-chunky white sole, while geisha-style platform shoes in a collage of materials elevate the Y-3 look to stratospheric heights. Men’s shoes remain masculine and tough with a range of military-style hiking boots and high-top oxfords. Trainers for both sexes employ a tubular cushion technology inspired by car tires for a look that is unforgettably adidas.
