ADIDAS AND YOHJI YAMAMOTO PRESENT THE Y-3 S-GENDO RUN SNEAKER
Having unveiled the first iteration of the GENDO series in 2022, this season adidas and Yohji Yamamoto introduce the Y-3 S-GENDO RUN which advances the spirit of its predecessor, blending the past with the future for a daring new silhouette.
Drawing on the conceptual impetus of Chapter 1 of Y-3’s SS24 collection – exploring a world in which the duality between the organic and the synthetic produces unexpected beauty – the sneaker’s hollow plate boldly experiments with the idea of negative space and elevation. With nods to the Japanese concept of ‘Ma’ in which empty space creates deeper meaning and shape, the silhouette is a defiant expression of the Contra-Natural spirit.
Innovative in design, with an unrivaled commitment to comfort, the Y-3 S-GENDO RUN is built by merging the advanced midsole technologies of the latest adidas running models with the aesthetic heritage of the brand’s archival trainers. A sport-inspired breathable mesh, suede and leather upper sits atop a Lightstrike midsole and a hollow Pebax® plate (incorporating a poured-in EVA element), creating an undeniably stark silhouette.
SUPERNOVA RISE
- SUPPORT RODS: The sole of every Rise is packed with a system of dense bottom-loaded foam ensuring neutral support from heel to toe, for super-smooth transitions to help runs flow effortlessly.
- COMFORT HEEL FIT: A combination of softly supportive cushioned foam and gentle textile around the heel, working in tandem to hug the heel with comfortable support.
ADIDAS ORIGINALS
The Response CL Wonder White is reflective of a clean palette, where different shades of white prevail. Combined with distinguished textures and lines, the design includes the original Response CL rubber sole, three outlined stripes, and features Benito’s signature eye symbol. The shoe offers maximum comfort and support on any journey.
This drop marks the starting point of a long celebration of Benito’s crew who inspires and encourages us with every step. This variation of the Response CL mirrors an invitation to keep making history in groups, from a place that only those who followed Benito through his entire career can understand.
