The Y-3 NEIGHBORHOOD capsule collection was unveiled for the first time at the Y-3 presentation in Paris in Fall/Winter 2025. This collaboration is a noteworthy project that brings together the motor culture and street aesthetics of Y-3, founded on the avant-garde spirit of Yohji Yamamoto, and NEIGHBORHOOD, led by Shinsuke Takizawa, into a single language.

NEIGHBORHOOD - A brand that transforms motor culture into "urban poetry"
NEIGHBORHOOD offers a unique reinterpretation of bike culture, garage work, and military details to propose a "functional aesthetic" for urban dwellers. Their raw, realistic designs, which evoke the smell of oil and the heat of the engine, are supported not as mere fashion but as a "stance on how to live."

Y-3 - An experimental approach that brings sportswear to the avant-garde
Y-3 has continued to experiment by combining the functionality of adidas with the architectural silhouettes of Yohji Yamamoto, transforming sportswear into "mode." In this season's collaboration, this avant-garde perspective highlights NEIGHBORHOOD's rebellious worldview, successfully "creating a new aesthetic between sports and street."

Sparks of Culture—The Significance of the Involvement of Death Spray Custom, Cherry's Company, and Dainese
Furthermore, iconic figures from street and motor culture are participating in this project. Death Spray Custom, known for its custom paint jobs, injects its venomous graphic sense into the clothing, creating visual tension. Cherry's Company, which specializes in motorcycle customization, adds a rugged atmosphere, reminiscent of the smell of iron and machinery, to the collection, giving the products a "sense of life as tools." Furthermore, by incorporating the structural theory of motor gears from Italy's Dainese, the functional beauty of protection is translated into a fashion context. The addition of these three elements gives the collection a cultural energy rather than decorative appeal.

The "shadow code" that resides in the graphics: moths, frogs, and scorpions
Moths, frogs, and scorpions are symbolically incorporated as motifs. All of these evoke keywords such as night, humidity, poison, and mutation. The collection resonates with the "aesthetics of shadow" that Yohji Yamamoto has pursued, and the sense of being somewhere between the city and subculture is brought to life through graphics.

"Works" in both fashion and street fashion
After being unveiled in the Paris fashion scene, this capsule collection is also scheduled to be presented at ComplexCon Las Vegas. The essence of this collaboration lies in the fact that it can function both on the runway (fashion) and at festivals (street culture). Clothing should not end as decoration, but function as a "tool" for culture with a place of its own—this shared understanding connects Y-3 and NEIGHBORHOOD.
