Sport shoes for elegant day wear and evening wardrobe

...seen at the new spring/summer 2013 collection by Y-3.

The Y-3 collection SS2013 by Yohji Yamamoto is probably the most elegant the Japanese designer has ever created during his collaboration with Adidas. 10 years before, the collaborative label Y-3 started with pioneering designs which integrate sports wear into day clothing and evening pieces. Y-3 are doing this with an easiness which was previously unknown. Yohji Yamamoto says: "My desire was and still is to make sportswear elegant and chic. With Y-3, we created something that did not exist before. After 10 years, we are falling in love with the three stripes once more."
