Y-3 and NEIGHBORHOOD meet on a line of asphalt somewhere between Harajuku and Milan, where the scent of oil replaces cologne and leather becomes a second skin. The new capsule, first seen in Paris and now officially launched, revives the outlaw confidence of motorcycle culture through Yohji Yamamoto’s lens of abstraction.
Y-3 x NEIGHBORHOOD
The Y-3 x NEIGHBORHOOD collection includes racer jackets and pants made by Dainese, oversized jerseys, and graphic tees marked by scorpion, frog, and moth motifs. A narrative of lived rebellion drives the detailed patches and prints.
The black & white campaign, photographed by Takay, reduces the story to light, shadow, and machinery. Figures stand beside a customized motorbike built by Cherryscompany, anonymous yet resolute, their clothes serving as armor and code.
The footwear, a hybrid of the adidas Nizza and shell-toe, perfectly captures the collection’s moto spirit. Altogether, Y-3’s latest collaboration reclaims utility as a form of beauty and shows how discipline can turn raw energy into style.
