Always one of the most anticipated drops of the sneakerhead’s calendar, Y3‘ s AW17 collection is crowned with the return of one of their most popular sneaker styles in recent times, the Pureboost, this time presented in a moody all-black colourway.

Displaying a mastery of texture and materials, the Y3 Pureboost Sneaker start with a two-layer knit mesh upper before adding matte black synthetic overlays to the heel, quarter and toe. The heel sports a soft TPU counter for extra stability, and the matte black theme is continued onto the sculpted Boost sole unit, as well as the grippy rubber web outsole tread. Branding is minimal, with adidas’ iconic 3 Stripes to the sides, as well as the Y3 logo embossed to the tongue.

Y3 Pureboost Sneakers really highlights the perfect material selection on this model, with the textures provided by the mesh, leather tongue and Boost sole really being allowed to pop, and making sure this sneaker is anything but basic. As usual, this style is expected to fly out, and numbers are limited, so don’t sleep!

The Y3 Pureboost ‘Triple Black’ sneaker is available online and in-store from Aphrodite Clothing now.
