Coming Soon is Yohji Yamamomoto’s latest endeavor which appears to target lovers of minimal design.  Above are a pair of casual canvas sneakers as part of the collection.  And when I state minimal design, there are no flashy logos or monograms like the Y-3 line.  What you have here is a very barebone casual hi top with clean lines and a nice two tone colorway.  No release date was given.  However, Odin is listed as one of the retailers.  So check with them if these sneakers are calling out your name.

Y-3 and Mandarina Duck are two of my favorite brands that offer premium sneakers and bagwear.  The ongoing collabo features many backpacks, wallets and tote bags worth the glance.  Make the leap to see more images.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the collection is sold stateside.  Ebay may be the best and only option.  It’s how I got my last two Mandarina Duck messenger bags.

Via High Snobiety, is a new pair of Y-3s that commemorate another store opening in the NYC.  Denim and black upper is a good colorway combination.  However, I think the real treat is the hidden lace loops and seamless Y-3/Adidas stripes.  The price tag is quite hefty at $500 a pair, but there are only 50 made.  Make the leap to see another image.
