today i bought the new GQ magazine and there were some +f50 tunit uppers from a designer called Yohji Yamamoto. they cost 450 euros and there are thousand pieces of each upper-color. i scanned the site from the magazine.
do u like them?

whats goin on with those studs?

And theyre pretty ugly

those are quite posibly the worst things i have ever seen
but should be in the tunit thread

ther fuckin well nice , dnt like the studs tho

THOSE ARE AMAZING

OMFG!!!

by the look of the studs, it converted to an indoor shoe

those are Y-3 tunit uppers, avaliable in indoor and outdoor.

I would hang them on my wall

wtf ...are there any other styles that they have out besides those ones

as far as i know, this guy does tons of high end fashionable stuff for adidas called Y3, these could just be for fashion more than anything else (accounts for the strange tread) but either way they look disgusting

same i would be scared of getting them scruffed up! the studs like everyone has said are weird but dam thats a good upper

oh man, thesse boots just look sick. the red ones are really great

there ugly imo.....

i must say, those blue ones would go perfectly with the new adidas japan kit.

it looks like the studs are wraped in some kind of foil

anyway i think those will look HOT HOT HOT

It looks more like the studs are also coloured to match the uppers.

To me it just looks like a joke!

Anyone able to translate the article?

they are bad boy.
imagine some giant central defender running at you with those

wonder if any players will wear those lol

no ... i mean the thing which is around the studs



theres nothin interesting in it ... only that YY is in long partnership with adidas and that he now ... for the first time ... designed a football boot for adidas which you can buy for 450 € ... and that there are only 1000 uppers avaliable for each design

The last ones remind me of the fila sharks lol.

i don't think the adidas (+10) logo is there

I'll try. I'm german, sorry for my bad bad bad english.

KUNSTSCHUSS - you can't really translate this - it's means a extreme difficult goalkick, perhapbs trickshot might be a translation, but the part "KUNST" is also the german word for "art". SCHUSS is just "shot".

The world of sports aspires to technology und functionality, while fasion is the direct opposite.
Fashion wants excess, says Yohji Yamamoto. The Japanese cooperates with adidas for years - with his new soccer shoes he seems to link both worlds. It's based on the new TUNIT system, which enables you to individually combine upper, sole and studs.
On the outside the shoes show artworks of the japanese artist Taishi Hayashi.
The four designs "TUNIT YY" are limited to 1000 pairs each and available in the stores from July.
Price circa 450€.

what has this thing to do with the topic



bravo ... couldnt have done it better (especially the explanation of the word KUNSTSCHUSS ) ... but as i said above , nothin interesting in it

thoes blue tunits are crazy. i dont know what to think about them.

i love the red ones, would look amazing with the england away shirt, not too keen on the others though.

they are pretty cool. i like the blue ones. can you buy them?

yeah as said in the text ... but for 450 €uros

They're most definetly fucked up. Whatevs, the're intense and I would most definetly frame them lol.

Do people know that other boots exist?

The colours are nice but they are plastic, like wearing a Lidl bag on your feet.

i think its more the technology and the customizable BS that people like. Its pure bullshat......but i LOVE it

so ugly!

I find it amusing how pretty much everyone here hates those Filas with dragons or sharks or whatever, but love all this junk.

This is a fucking insult to soccer. Soccer is a sport. Boots are a part of equipment. Its not a fashion show.

Its a sport. And some joker has bloody has put on cartoon animals on a boot. And the funny thing is, not kids are liking it, teenagers and young adults are.

And im not sorry for expressing my opinion this way. The only thing I like about these is that I will never see them in my country.

^Couldnt agree more.

You guys are missing the point. I dont think they're uppers meant for playing. They're experimental sport/fashion fusion items meant for catwalks or hanging on the wall or something, like most of the stuff that comes out of high end fasion shows these days. Go check out other stuff from the Y-3 collection. Its not really meant for sport, its inspired by sport and a representation of what sport means to people, the feelings it invokes etc. Anyone who would actually want to wear a pair of boots like that in a game is fucking daft, but i think they are an interesting example of the possibilities that a world class fashion designer draws from sport.

Yohji Yamamoto is a fashion designer...mainly womens clothing, but he's done colabs with adidas and theres a whole Y-3 line. I think this was just one of those "its beautiful art" moments *cue french mime*.

tunits arent plastic dude ... they are out of adihex ... it has nothin but really NOTHIN to do with plastic

or are nike`s mv`s out of plastic ... no they are out of nikeskin


anyway i kinda like these boots ... but you could have done better designs on em ... i mean this looks not really good ... i myself could prob have done somethin better

Bang on there, soldier. Adidas could sell some of you guys shit on a stick...

I woudn't mind shit on a stick.

But only if it had "adidas" on the side, yeah?

Nike could sell sh!t without the stick and people would buy.

But it'd be the lightest shit...and over priced.

LOL lets stop with the mataphores...besides kelme would make a mixture of the shit nike and adidas made and sell it at half price!

...both the same material, anyhow, both plastic. Synthetic PU (Polyurethane) with a nylon/polyesther backing. The Nike material uses a better quality microfibre backing though, in my opinion.

Personally I cant say I like these, but for sure they are for fashion and for the street. If you are familiar with YY, you will know these are definitely in his style, and there are certainly a market for these.

Probably not the same market on this forum though.

cheers

And Nomis would sell shit thats really sticky.

Gets stickier the smellier it gets .

You guys have cracked.

mv`s and tunit`s arent the same material ... and arent that plastic as we know ... they are as you said PU and this has nothin to do with Lidl bags

It would probably be quite comfortbale though! Michael would also be quite interested to hear how we liked Simon's new shit.
