Sneakheads around the world can finally rejoice in unison as the new sneakers from Y-3 have been teased: the Primeknit Pure Boost ZG’s. For those unfamiliar with the brand, Y-3 is a subsidiary of Adidas that’s lead by the prominent fashion designer from Tokyo: Yohji Yamamoto. Yohji has been in the fashion industry for years and around fourteen years ago or so he teamed up with Adidas to launch Y-3. He envisioned a line where sportswear met high-fashion, and the end products were located somewhere in-between those two categories. Y-3 is known for many popular shoes, like the Qasa High’s, amongst the brands other fashion products. The Primeknit Pure Boost ZG’s are the newest creation from the brand, and they are looking pretty good.

The sneaker website Sneakerboy posted pictures of the shoes on their Instagram, and they are already making the rounds around the internet. These sneakers have been highly anticipated for some time now, and it seems like the will be here just in time for the Spring.

The Y-3 Primeknit Pure Boost ZG’s fir right in with the rest of the Y-3 line as they are a shoe that only this brand could realistically come up with. These low-top shoes incorporate Adidas’s Primeknit technology, which make for not only a comfortable fit, but a sneaker that looks good as well. I’ve got a pair of the Primeknit Tubular Runner’s and I would describe them to feel like a second sock. Additionally the shoes also feature the Boost midsole, and anyone that’s had a pair of sneakers with Adidas’s Boost technology will go on in great length to describe just how comfortable they are. It’s like walking on clouds.

Outside of those features, the Primeknit Pure Boost ZG’s are distinctly something from Y-3. They will be available in two colors, white/black and pure black, and are expected to drop sometime within the next few months. There’s no word on how much they cost, but given how expensive the rest of Y-3’s offerings are, I’d imagine they will be somewhere north of $400 dollars.
