For the Y-3 Spring/Summer 2010 collection, the fashion and sports concert adds a third component, flowers. A multi-hued floral print adorns the footwear and apparel. It can be seen subtly added to the soles of shoes and the interior lining of a jacket or as an attention-grabbing all over print.
Though some men may find the brash floral pattern a little too flowery for their tastes, the Y-3 Spring/Summer 2010 collection carries the brand’s tradition of unconventional uses of materials and mediums in sports-inspired apparel.
