Product Insights
The Y-3 Micro-Perforated Running T-Shirt, from the Fall/Winter 2026 Chapter 1 collection, continues the brand's fashion-sportswear legacy since 2002 with a recycled polyester-polyamide blend that feels ultra-lightweight and silky, featuring pinstripe-shaped micro-perforations and side vents for subtle uniform airflow that vents sweat and heat during high-intensity runs while a DWR finish sheds light rain. Raw-cut edges deliberately fray over time for a unique lived-in patina, and the relaxed fit prioritizes silhouette over compression as a tradeoff at $150 CAD, matching Japanese retail with no markup, and the recycled polyester is GRS/RCS-certified from post-consumer plastic bottles.
