Y-3: Yes Times Three

February 02, 2018

It’s amazing how powerful a straight line can be. No one understands this more than Yohji Yamamoto and adidas, who combine forces to create the razor-sharp brand Y-3, where cultivated simplicity merges with kinetic swagger in the second chapter of the brand’s drop for Spring/Summer 2018— seamlessly captured in the slick campaign, shot by Alessio Bolzoni and styled by Mauricio Nardi.

Ease and mobility define a sports brand. The clothes in this latest installment move like liquid, breezily flowing while remaining cunning and clear. Colors and cuts are simple and lucid, with graphic pops of a curious cobra gazing perplexed at a bit of Franglais text that it obscures — is it about to strike? Or being tamed by a song? #possibilities.

VEJA and Magliano Rework the Panenka

February 26, 2026

There’s something inherently nostalgic about football footwear. The scuffed leather, the folded tongues, the idea that performance and personality once shared the same surface. With its latest collaboration, VEJA taps into that memory and hands it over to Magliano to rework, and make its own.

Drawing from vintage football boots, the silhouette leans into Magliano’s instinct for unconventional tailoring. A folded tongue sits across the upper, referencing classic boots while subtly shifting how the shoe functions and feels. Made from a single perforated piece, the flap introduces asymmetric lacing, turning a familiar detail into something deliberately off-balance.

That sense of play carries through in the styling. There's three sets of interchangeable laces to go with the three different colorways: black with cream accents, white with sharp black contrast, and a pearlescent pink.

Through all of this, the Panenka emerges with a new personality.
