Y-3 – EVOLUTION OF THE Y-3 RUNNER 4D

Posted on 2019-01-28

For Spring/Summer 2019, Y-3 evolves the innovative, purpose-built Y-3 RUNNER 4D, which leveragesADIDAS 4D, the world’s first high-performance midsole to be designed with data and crafted by lightand oxygen. Based on years of athlete data, the shoe’ssingle component design is precisely tuned for controlled energy return, providing long-lasting cushioning and stability for any activity.

This second advancement on the breakthrough Y-3 RUNNER 4D features uppers comprised of a red double-layer knit, which further increases stability in the lower part of the shoe. The inner layer is woven with the adidas 3-stripe motif and bears the YohjiYamamoto logo at its center.

In a unique design feat, both layers are linked by a lightweight, ultra-strength cording made of high tensile. A product of form and function, this distinct cording defines the new aesthetic language of the Y-3 RUNNER 4D and simultaneously provides the shoe’s lacing system. The result is a confident new expression of the ADIDAS 4D vision.

A limited quantity of the new Y-3 RUNNER 4D will launch on January 31st exclusively at Y-3 flagship stores and www.y-3.com.
