Y-3 Dunks the Kozoko High in Slick "Core Black"

adidas and Yohji Yamamoto‘s Y-3 continues to push out new, slick footwear options for the fall season, the latest being the Kozoko High in “Core Black.” Launching after the Kozoko Low in “Reflective Silver” and a new “Black Olive” rendition, the BOOST-equipped runner returns in a high-top silhouette and a stealthy all-black colorway. The sock-like upper boasts a neoprene mesh construction with what appears like carbon fiber and leather overlays. Contrasting material textures — i.e. perforated detailing, polished coating and matte finish — give some dimension to the murdered-out model, while a black BOOST midsole lives up to the “Core Black” designation.

The adidas Y-3 Kozoko High “Core Black” is slated to drop sometime in September at select Y-3 retailers such as Livestock. Check back for updates and let us know if this is a cop or drop. In the meantime, check out Y-3 Nico High in “Core Black/Silverite” for another all-black model that’s slightly more daring.
