adidas and Yohji Yamamoto Present: the Yohji Yamamoto Stan Smith Sneaker Having first come together over 20 years ago to radically change the fashion landscape by blending fashion and sportswear, this season, adidas celebrates its enduring partnership with the inimitable Japanese visionary Yohji Yamamoto by presenting the Yohji Yamamoto Stan Smith sneaker. Paying homage to a figure that has had an indelible impact on the last two decades of the Three Stripes, adidas Originals brings the legendary designer to one of the brand’s most recognizable icons, with a distinctly Yohji Yamamoto take on the Stan Smith. The timeless silhouette itself arrives in two distinct color iterations: the first features a matte black outsole, a white leather upper, and a black tongue, while the second is an all black make-up with a white tongue. Both looks are finished with a portrait graphic of designer Yohji Yamamoto and his name debossed on the heel. The Yohji Yamamoto Stan Smith is available globally at Yohji Yamamoto Boutiques, at adidas.com, theshopyohjiyamamoto.com, on CONFIRMED, in store, and through select retailers.
