At this point, it's become pretty obvious that Yohji Yamamoto is the master of Futurecraft. After just releasing a 4D collection last month, we're now getting up close and personal with the Y-3 Runner 4D IO, and it is his biggest rework to date.

Images courtesy of reputable sneaker insider @solebyjc, the 4D IO features an extremely technical composition and is inspired by digital binary code. With a clean white upper, it's crafted from an ultra versatile ripstop fabric that's slightly see through. This surrounds an adidas Primeknit base within that provides sneakerheads with a comfortable sock-like fit.

Oversized "adidas Y-3" branding finds its way to the lateral and medial side panels as well as the tongue, and down below you'll find a fully blacked out Futurecraft 4D midsole that's as stealthy as it gets. With an intricate lattice structure that's derived from oxygen and light, every step feels like you're walking on a plump cloud. To round it all off, a luxe leather pull tab adorns the heel, finalising the clean cut colourway.

Not much else is known about the adidas Y-3 Runner 4D IO at this moment in time, so make sure you keep it locked at The Sole Supplier for more news as it develops!
