Y-3 says it in amber for fall 2025

Y-3, the game-setting amalgam of high fashion and active sport, has unveiled its latest collection, and for Fall 2025, it’s all about saying it in amber.

To be precise, Amber Ink is the key to most looks: a unique graphic treatment inspired by Japanese ink painting, used in amber colors—radiating warmth, creativity and transformation.

The hue of amber, a fossilized tree resin noted for its natural beauty since Neolithic times, appears all over bold fashion ideas from Y-3, a joint venture between Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto and German sportswear giant Adidas.

A kicky collection, captured by longtime photography collaborator Thue Nørgaard, in the campaign that plays with light and color in a surreal cinematic style.

“Statement silhouettes—coach jackets, cargo pants, puffers, knits—merge with dynamic Three Stripes and layered logos, while footwear like the Y-3 Regu and Y-3 Tokyo reimagine classic Adidas forms,” noted a joint release.

Founded in 2001, the Germano-Japanese partnership has long explored the threshold between polarities—fashion and sport, creativity and expression, light and dark. In the meeting of active sport and arty fashion, Y-3 remains the true benchmark.

“And now, their renegade label, Y-3, returns to introduce its Fall/Winter 2025 collection: a collision of sport, precision technique, and evocative graphic treatments,” trumpeted the Y-3 release, with some justification.

The full collection will get its first live display on Saturday, June 28, the final day of the French menswear catwalk season, with a performance inside Palais Brongniart, the former stock exchange of Paris.

Amber and ambergris hues—in orange, yellow, and ochre—are sprayed, splotched, and smeared over a wide range of garments in the Amber Ink graphic treatment, granting great individual panache to many looks.

Striking silhouettes, dramatic cinching, expressive padding, and contorted Three Stripes provide the canvas upon which the Amber Ink artworks undulate. Sports coach jackets, cargo pants, tracksuits, knit dresses, puffers, and knit sweaters are all carefully finished off with precisely placed logo elements, each adopting a similar graphic approach.

A curated selection of reimagined Adidas footwear accompanies the Amber Ink pieces, including the Y-3 Regu and the Y-3 Regu Boot, both featuring custom patterned details and the Y-3 Tokyo. Ergonomic blends of bowling shoes, boxer boots, and triple-stripe sneakers—they all look great.

Elements of the collection are now available from adidas.com/y-3, like wide-cut T-shirts smeared in blotchy amber prints and priced at €150. After July 1, they will retail in Y-3 stores and via select retail partners.
