A Powerful Y-3 Ride Like No Other (EXCLUSIVE)
For NEIGHBORHOOD, motorsports isn't a trend. It's an attitude that guides everything the brand does, from its rebellious in-line designs to its upcoming collaboration with Y-3.
As a longtime fan of biker culture, founder Shinsuke Takizawa says it's been "wonderful" witnessing the motorcore trend unfold over the past couple of years.
"Even for those who don't actually ride, I believe they can still feel and appreciate the essence of motorcycle culture through the style itself," he tells Highsnobiety.
Y-3 and NEIGHBORHOOD's Fall/Winter 2025 collection will certainly move both diehard enthusiasts and those who dress the part of a motorcyclist. It's a ride like no other, complete with collaborations with some of the most famous names in the moto space.
For instance, artist David Gwyther, a.k.a. Death Spray Custom, lent some of his graphics for the collection's tees.
Japanese motorcycle shop Cherryscompany created a custom bike for the campaign, while Italian racing label Dainese helped cook up the leather racing gear.
"This season, with Dainese joining the collection, it has become a truly powerful and impactful lineup. Needless to say, the quality is exceptional," says Takizawa.
The collaborative collection also includes a shell-toe adidas sneaker that surprisingly isn't a Superstar.
Both Y-3 and NEIGHBORHOOD have dished out an unconventional Superstar or two in the past, but this time is different. The two minds designed an entirely new sneaker hybrid called the Nizzastar Lo. It's essentially the classic adidas Nizza basketball shoe with the Superstar's shell toe.
Of course, it's also blooming with the spirit of all things automotive.
It seems like forever ago when Y-3 debuted the NEIGHBORHOOD collab on the runway of Paris Fashion Week (those nice racing boots, too). Now, it's finally time to ride out.
Launching on adidas' website, Y-3 x NEIGHBORHOOD will arrive on October 25.
