Season after season, the Tubular-inspired Qasa continues to be the most popular silhouette from legendary Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto and adidas’ collaborative range and now Y-3 is transforming the silhouette into a high-top boot for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2016 season. First seen on the runway in Paris back in January with the unveiling of the seasonal collection, the new Fall/Winter 2016 design stays true to the overall aesthetic of the original, retaining everything from Tubular-like sole unit and elastic straps to the neoprene upper and waxed cotton laces, but extends the collar skyward as it adds two more of the Qasa’s molded Three Stripes-inspired eyelet sets along the eyestay.

Lined with performance Poron throughout the interior and finished with the likes of premium leather and a carbon fiber-like textile, the new Qasa Boot can be picked up now from HAVEN for $384 USD per pair.
