adidas and Yohji Yamamoto‘s Y-3 release the clean Yuben Mid silhouette, delivered in an all-black colorway and a contrasting off-white version. The Yuben Low was introduced in Y-3 2019 FW lookbook, featuring a pared-down form with a basic design.

This time around, the mid-top iteration takes cues from a classic basketball sneaker, featuring a predominate canvas upper with leather accents. Yohji Yamamoto’s branding is embroidered in tonal colors along the lateral with a straightforward Y-3 logo on the tongue and heel. Balanced atop a rubber cup sole, the premium trainers are available to purchase online at retailers like adidas.

In related news, adidas recently unveiled a trio of season-appropriate ZX 8000s in tonal colorways.
