Released in 2018, the adidas Y-3 Kaiwa rapidly gained traction among followers of Yohji Yamamoto. Its resurgence in June 2019 saw the introduction of the Y-3 Kaiwa 'Core Black', which boasts a seamless all-black design. Crafted from top-tier leather, the upper showcases a blend of stretchy neoprene on the collar and heel, complemented by a suede heel tab. To offer a subtle contrast, the high-cut tongue flaunts a stitched white Y-3 and Yohji Yamamoto signature. Adding a touch of intrigue, black pods extend from the midsole, enhancing the overall appeal.
