Adidas Y-3 Boost | The Style Raconteur

Y-3 are flying at the moment so many amazing styles and I’ve had a preview of next Summer and they are only going to take a bigger part of the premium sneaker market. Recently dropped is the Boost a sole unit obviously taken from Y-3’s bigger brother.  Its a design that features a minimal and super breathable mesh upper with a black and white stripe pattern running across almost the entirety of the shoe. A black semi-rigid suede heel and tongue provide a bit of added support without taking away from the sleek design, and underneath is a supremely comfortable Boost sole. They have dropped HERE
