Y-3 has continuously toed the line between street and sport. Their next venture? Tennis. Premiering this autumn at the season’s final Grand Slam in New York, the Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto partnership fuses performance engineering with a painterly approach to tennis style.

The 18-piece men’s and women’s range is both uniform and statement. Precise yet flowy silhouettes are broken up by asymmetrical lines and abstract prints. There are some gameplay-ready looks, with mini dresses paired with Y-3-branded sweatbands. The prints are borrowed from Suibokuga, the Japanese ink-wash technique, layered to resemble fossilized amber. It’s a collision of structure and art, much like the game itself.

Function is built in at a fabric level. CLIMACOOL fabrics pull sweat away during play, while discreet zippers, integrated bras, and skirt linings allow for seamless seams. On the footwear side, Y-3 deconstructs and reimagines iconic Adidas tennis shoes—the Defiant Speed 2, Avacourt 2, Adizero Ubersonic 5, Barricade 13, and Adizero Cybersonic 2—each tweaked into something stranger and more directional.

Photographer Michael Hauptman captures the collection not in the heat of match point, but in the after-hours—late-night practice sessions, quiet stretches of concentration. Adidas athletes Jessica Pegula, Iva Jovic, Sascha Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Jakub Menšík sport the collection in the campaign, giving motion to already active garments.

The Y-3 Fall/Winter 2025 Tennis collection lands August 15 at 4 p.m. CET, available through adidas.com/Y-3.
