Product Insights
Born from the first designer-sportswear collaboration—Yohji Yamamoto’s Y-3 with adidas, debuted at Paris Fashion Week 2003—this sock embodies the 'art of subtraction': a ribbed cuff and single embroidered logo in only black or white, where each detail is essential. The three stripes symbolize the fusion of the two creators. Available in two sizes (3 fits US 6–8.5, 4 fits US 9–12), it requires machine washing cold and low drying to protect the logo from peeling. At $50 CAD, it offers a rare price advantage over peers like Palm Angels or Rick Owens, but buyers must accept the limited color palette and precise fit.
