Adding to its Futurecraft 4D series, Adidas had launched the Y-3 RUNNER 4D II sneakers in January this year. These sneakers were, then, only available in a sharp Red colour.

Yohji Yamamoto designed the shoe for the Spring/Summer collection. It has a Bone/White sole and a double-layer Primeknit upper. The Primeknit upper wraps the foot in adaptive support and ultralight comfort. As a mark of his creation, Yohji Yamamoto has left his calligraphic signature on the tongue of the shoe where there are three contrasting stripe. The futuristic design has a snug, sock-like upper with a neoprene tongue and leather accents at the toe and heel.

The recent release also boasts of an improved grip and traction. This was possible due to a collaboration with Continental, a German automotive manufacturing company, resulting in a new rubber outsole.
