The Y-3 KYASU OVERBOOT is on the latest footwear creations by Yohji Yamamoto for Adidas that showcases an unexpected silhouette for avid fans to admire thanks to its slightly obscure profile. The footwear starts off with the KYASU sneaker as the inspiration, which has been transformed into a mule before being paired with a high-cut leather boot cover that can be removed. The all-black finish of the mule and boot give it a mysterious profile, while the dual-branding aesthetic consists of Adidas' Three Stripes alongside Yamamoto's recognizable signature.
The Y-3 KYASU OVERBOOT is available now from Adidas directly as well as select retailers in women's sizing, and is priced at $750. The footwear is always making waves with several sizes already sold out.
