To emphasize the importance of a shoe that can withstand all types of weather, adidas Y-3 has concocted new GORE-TEX versions of its futuristic looking GR.1P model.

Coming in high and low silhouettes, the bulky shoes promote a tumbled leather upper with GORE-TEX lining and a thick rubber outsole. The Y-3 models bring adventure wear to another level with tire-resembling soles and thick constructions. They protect against water, mud and other elements that could otherwise ruin a sneaker.

adidas’s Y-3 is a collaboration between the brand and Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto. It aims to create progressive apparel, footwear and accessories by “fusing high fashion with advanced sportswear.”

Not for the faint of heart, the adidas Y-3 GR.1P GTX high and low styles will release for $350 and $300, respectively, on March 11th at select retailers and adidas.com/Y-3.
