More and more new releases are made out of unorthodox materials that one would never have associated sneakers with. This especially rings true with sportswear brands who are collaborating with experimental designers, the likes of Adidas and Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto. The new Y-3 Runner 4D sneakers speak volumes of such.
