As part of its on-going anniversary celebration, the adidas Superstar has been tweaked in a number of different ways, collaborating with the likes of NIGO’s Human Made, Pharrell, and more recently Jonah Hill. Yohji Yamamoto, despite not being in attendance for the shoe’s recent ad campaign, now looks to be joining the conversation as well, using his longstanding Y-3 sub-label to create his own interpretation. Dubbed the Hicho, the pair effectively uses the original as a general guideline, though it quickly draws outside the lines with its own preferred design language. As such, the leather upper is given a luxe fabrication marked with paint of neutral leaning — its Y-3 and Three Stripes branding adjacent contrasting only at few points. Elsewhere, the tooling delivers a much larger size, stacking the base silhouette’s sole with another layer. Grab a detailed look at these here and expect three colorways to arrive at select retailers come July 15th.
