For years the Y3 Sprint Classic has been the footwear of choice for consumers looking for something that will bridge the gap between the comfort of sportswear and high-end luxury fashion. The brand themselves refer to the shoe as a luxury urban sneaker, showcasing some of the main features of a sneaker but boasting some luxurious features. Hailing from the Y-3 collaborative brand between sportswear giant adidas Originals and Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, the Sprint Classic was an instant success, often seen on a number of celebrities in magazines and on television.

After so much success with the original Sprint Classic, Y-3 introduced the rather unimaginatively titled Y-3 Sprint Classic II; Hey, if something isn’t broke, why try and fix it? Taking on the same silhouette as its predecessor, the second incarnation of the luxury trainers sees it take on a unique perforated leather upper. Still harbouring many of the same features as the original, this newer version opts for a more monochrome colourway with only subtle hints of the original orange colour that adorned much of the first shoe.

The usual TPU welded three-stripe design borrowed from adidas is still utilised and incorporates the Yohji Yamamoto branding. Embroidered Y-3 branding is found on the padded tongue whilst the brands name is also concealed under the leather heel tab which lifts up. A part-leather lined inner enhances the quality of the shoe along with the smooth leather panels running along the front of the toe box and side panel.

Priced at £195.00, the Y-3 Sprint Classic II is available to purchase now in our Y3 category. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of our friendly customer service representatives on [email protected] or 0191 5675898
