If I were to describe the Y-3 QASA B-Ball ($435) with one word, that word would be funky. Y-3 is a line from Adidas, and this new basketball high-top will definitely grab some attention. The upper is made from neoprene, leather and mesh, with a cage-like TBU piece running from the base to the collar for additional support. Additional features include Yohji Yamamoto branding on the side of the outsole along with a “Y-3” patch on the tongue.
The Adidas Originals Streetball 1.5 (Black/Neon) $95 are a throwback to ’90s styling. The shoes feature a Nubuck upper with PU-coated leather details, mesh underlays, a perforated toe box for ventilation, suede toe guard, cushioned EVA midsole, and grippy outsole for lots of traction. Shoes are available now directly from Adidas.
