Y-3 × NEIGHBORHOOD: an ode to speed

Y-3 NEIGHBORHOOD, presented during Y-3’s FW25 in Paris, is an ode to speed, motorcycle iconography, and the visual language of Japanese streetwear. The launch comes to life in a campaign photographed by Takay, featuring a motorcycle customized by Cherryscompany.

Founded in 1994 by Shinsuke Takizawa, NEIGHBORHOOD was born out of his fascination with the motorcycle subcultures of Japan and America. Three decades later, that same rebellious spirit meets the conceptual vision of Yohji Yamamoto, who, together with adidas, has spent years redefining the relationship between high fashion and sports culture. Two pioneers, one spirit: dissent made style.

Artist David Gwyther (Death Spray Custom), known for its unique pieces in the world of motorsports, it has created three central graphics—a scorpion, a frog, and a moth—that decorate the T-shirts, helmets, and other visual elements of the collaboration.

The main garments—a racer jacket and leather pants produced by Dainese—consolidate the link between fashion and the rawness of Japanese racetracks. In addition, we can find a new version resulting from the fusion of two classic adidas silhouettes, the shell-toe and the Nizza, to create the new Y-3 NBHD Nizzastar Lo. 

The Y-3 NEIGHBORHOOD capsule drop is scheduled for October 25 on adidas.com/Y-3 and during ComplexCon, where the brand will present a dedicated space featuring the original motorcycle and helmets from the Paris fashion show.
