adidas Y-3 Launches the New Minimal IOW Runner Model

— August 2, 2021 — Fashion
adidas Y-3 delivers a new footwear silhouette with the unveiling of the new IOW Runner model for the season. The shoes are a blend of a low top and a mid top for a unique visual and function. The upper is mostly crafted from a breathable mesh material at the front half of the shoe.

It is also paired with a set of modular neoprene materials that allows wearers to control the height. The base foundation is sleek and has a synthetic overlay that starts off at the heels and runs down to the throat and forefoot. Notably, there is also a suede panel that is at the back side of the silhouette before a monochromatic branding detail reading Y-3 rounds out the design.
