Via About-Now

Nearly a decade after its initial debut, Adidas and Japanese designer, Yohji Yamamoto, are taking one of their most intricate designs out of the archives. The Y-3 Qasa High sneaker, known for its tube-inspired soles, is slated for a release this week, joined by a new and improved sandal iteration.

An oldie but a goodie — The Qasa High sneaker from 2013 pushed the envelope on experimental footwear at the Three Stripes headquarters. And if you compare its 2022 reprise with its sandal counterpart, you’ll see that the Hokori sandal takes a page straight from the Qasa High. The sneaker features the sandal’s bulky sole and elastic straps atop its Poron performance socklined upper.

Down below, the sneaker’s foundation is fitted with an EVA foam cushioning and arranged in a circular fashion that references Adidas’s Tubular running tech from the ‘90s. Leather covers the sneakers’ toe box, suede lines the heel, and a shade of white hits the sole, heel, and lace system. The Adidas sub-label is known for its chunky visuals and monochromatic aesthetics, thanks to Yamamoto’s history with sophisticated designs — even in the sports world.

Slip into these — As sneaker hype turns to sandal hype during the hot summer months, the Y-3 Hokori is a warm weather option that begs to be taken more seriously than Crocs. Oversized soles on the Hokori command immediate attention, stacked with tan, off-white, and black layers. Y-3 branding comes in the form of a padded panel at the midsole and an embossed label at the heel, while more co-branding appears on the insole. Securing the wearer’s foot into place are thick, black elastic straps that criss-cross at the midfoot and ankle.

The Y-3 Qasa High will be available on May 25 via the Adidas website and stores, Confirmed app, and select retailers. It has a hefty price tag of $400, but the sandal retails for $250 on Farfetch if that’s more your speed in aesthetic and price.

After an absence in the market since around 2017, the Y-3 Qasa High returns in its familiar black and white colorway. The Y-3 Qasa High echoes much of Yamamoto’s brilliance for pushing design boundaries, not only in looks but also in construction and performance. One of the model’s most distinct features is its easily-recognizable EVA outsole — the robust detail takes cues from adidas’ 90s Tubular running technology. Other signature aspects include the Qasa’s neoprene sock-like uppers, front elasticated straps, leather toe cap and smooth heel lining. For comfort and cushioning, the shoe is constructed with a Poron® performance sockliner.

The Qasa High will be available for purchase on May 25 at adidas.com/y-3, on CONFIRMED, in stores, and through select retailers.

In other footwear news, retailer Sneaker Politics will be releasing their newest ASICS “Always Ready” GEL-LYTE III.

Editor's Notes: Man, the early-mid 2010s were such an era, weren't they? Sure, I definitely have nostalgia bias having been in my teens during that time, but come on – Watch The Throne? Cruel Summer? Channel Orange? Kanye West's Nike Air Yeezy 2? Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy? Hood by Air? Off-White's debut? The list goes on.

It was a time of high flair, risk-taking, and a pretty upfront no fucks given attitude. These were the years where luxury and streetwear really collided at full force, paving the way for many of the industry-shaping collaborations that we continue to see today. As far as I'm concerned, the latter end of that decade, and the current one, are still trying to recapture that magic.

Personally, no era beats the early-mid 2010s, so it's great to see a monumental release from that time being shown some renewed love during a time that Y2K is being laid on thick. I am, of course, talking about the reintroduction of adidas and Yohji Yamamoto's iconic QASA HIGH.

To this day, the Y-3 QASA HIGH remains one of the most beloved high-end and sportswear crossover sneaker silhouettes to touch the market – and for good reason. Releasing in 2013 during the peak of Tumblr, the sneaker became the go-to for streetwear enthusiasts and online style subcultures such as the Health Goth, Urban Ninja, and so on.

The silhouette is unmistakable. Its expressive EVA outsole which was cherry-picked from adidas’ 90s Tubular running technology, neoprene sock-like upper, elasticated strapping, leather toe-cap, and suede heel lining make it one of the most desirable avant-garde takes on a high-top sneaker – and honestly, it's perfect.

For its return, the QASA HIGH maintains all of its original glory, once again touching down in its classic white-on-black colorway. Here's hoping that the beloved triple black iteration isn't far behind.
