Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto’s Y-3 collaboration is amongst the true wellsprings of the technical, fashionable sportswear currently saturating menswear. The brand’s return to Paris in January felt timely, and its follow-up to last season’s superhero madness was a tropical collision of surf and streetwear. The surf came in the form of tropic clichés with a smart twist: from sunset ombre t-shirts to the wetsuit-like slick of neoprene blazers, and prints galore clustered with hibiscus and birds-of-paradise florals spliced into black tailoring. The street was imbued in Yohji’s silhouette; the baggy, cuffed jogging trousers worn with roomy blazers, zipped and patch-pocketed blousons or flyaway nylon parkas, with baggy bowling shirts for both boys and girls.
