Designed by Yohji Yamamoto of Y’s and Y-3, COMING SOON is a timeless, casual label created for those who wear what they like. The upcoming Spring/Summer 2010 collection exhibits a number of interesting silhouettes, mixing basic dark shades, subdued colors and some off-the-wall prints. We thoroughly enjoyed the sneakers from the last COMING SOON range, and are excited to have a closer look at the models seen here as they become available. This unmistakably Japanese lineup from COMING SOON will be in stock at selected stores across the planet this coming Spring.

We take an early look at the Yohji Yamamoto for Dr. Martens Fall/Winter 2009 boot line-up. The Japanese designer has already worked several seasons with the English shoe manufacturer and in most cases the outcome was pretty crazy.

Therefore we appreciate even more the outcome of next seasons collection. You still have the wild pattern element in the collection, but at the same time the designer also offers some more subtle styles, that are not any less interesting or new to the brand. From canvas uppers to herringbone patterns, the boots definitely get some new looks.

Famed Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto has teamed up with UK footwear brand Dr Marten’s for a second time. The latest project, a 1490 10 Eye boot, in two distinctive colorways. The collaboration takes a classic from the Dr Marten’s lineup and adds a few subtle design twists. The first black with a white toe box and the second black with the famed cherry colorway. Each boot features high quality leather and Yamamoto’s signature on the insole. This is one of those products you have to see in person to truly appreciate. Via Selectism.

Here a presentation of the Y-3 Fall/Winter 2007 collection. Season after season the brand, an on-going collaboration between Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto, pushes further into the fashion market and we see the same tendencies in the new Fall/Winter 2007 collection. If you look at their first collection they were hardly wearable because they were so crazy with rhinestones, neon colors and prices that were simply unbelievably high – that completely changed. Concentration now is more on innovative features and materials, colors became much more subtle and basic.
Overall we like the new Y-3 collection, but at times it seems a little boring and more could be done in our opinion. On the other hand, if you are looking for a good evening sneaker, these might be just the right thing.
