Yohji Yamamoto who had been collaborating with Adidas for the Y-3 line, has embarked on a new creation, transforming the adizero F50 football boots and embellishing them with a pair of imperial lion-dogs - mythical Japanese creatures associated with the Imperial Era - in fiery yellow tones with contrasting black and brown details.

Professional soccer players will wear these exclusive Adidas boots in matches around the world this weekend, sporting a design that pays homage to Yohji Yamamoto’s Japanese ancestors.

The “Yohji Yamamoto adizero F50″ boots are now available in Adidas stores at a price of €300.
