Yohji Yamamoto is a Japanese designer that you already know and respect. Renowned for his sculptural and avant-garde designs, he lends his talents to adidas for its collaboration line (Y-3) and of course to his own namesake brand.
Today’s Buy It Now is a canvas high-top sneaker from Yohji’s diffusion line, Coming Soon, which is a lower-priced brand that’s geared toward a younger market. The sneaker has cotton taping, a white rubber sole, and leather-lined accents (plus no egregious labeling) which is just enough to make it the perfect summer canvas shoe. See below for details, pics, and Buy It Now info…

Sure Y-3 has the high-fashion sneaker game on lock, but Yohji cares about your fitness too. If you're all about being label-conscious even when you're running the streets, look into these Ikuno's. The lightweight trainers will last you a substantial amount of miles, and once you blow the guts out of 'em, you'll have the coolest beaters on the block. Check for them mid-July.
$250, Y-3 Store New York.
