Sizing update: 0.5 up is more comfortable overall, the extra room in the toebox makes them fit fine there, and by tightening the laces a little more you can get a decent fit over the rest of the shoe too. So that's my recommendation, particularly if your feet are on the wider side. If they're narrow though you might be OK with TTS
about to pull the trigger on a pair. great review. recommendation of half size up would be same as ultraboost, sizing correct? i prefer more room than a snug fit as well.
Thanks for the review, this made my decision between 11-11.5 a lot easier, even though I wear size 11 mostly. Just placed my order, I'm sure 11.5 will be a great fit. Thanks again! 😎 🔥
What? Over the top? Who the fuk wants the same old looking shoe silhouette, this is 2018, not 1980 with the same old retro look, looking like everybody else. I love futuristic sneakers well assemble, besides the unfinished materials on these Y3, these still look awesome!
Thanks for creating another video about Y-3 Antwon! I do agree that it's been more than a few seasons where there haven’t been many interesting things from Y-3 worth talking about until the Kaiwa's release (apart from the 4D's), so it feels refreshing seeing the design team behind this taking cue's from previous Adidas Rick Owens shoes. Anyways keep up the great videos! - Y-3 Qasa Boot Guy from your DM's ❤️🔥
Just found your channel and what I love the most is not just the topic and detailed descriptions of the various items but the eximious usage of words. Great content. Subscribed.
I bought these in the white cream in my normal size I had the same issue my toe was squashed and felt as the trainer was slipping of at the back so I've ordered a 5.5 but in love with these trainers
Absolutely love these shoes. They're also coming out in white leather, yellow leather and red suede this season. Also the Kaiwa Knit is releasing next season which is a knitted upper with removable lacing on the same sole
Oooh white version could be cool for some lunarcore fits. Not sure if the knitted version will look as nice as the leather but I'll definitely keep an eye out
This Is Antwon the knitted ones are more substantial than something like a Balenciaga sock shoe. I quite like how minimal the upper is without lacing. You can see them on the runway show. Love your videos btw! Always super in depth and entertaining. You’re one of my favourite youtubers
Brilliant review! I agree with you about the similar aesthetic and thats one of the things I like most about the shoe. I got the yellow pair yesterday from the store in New York and I already loved them, but watching your review genuinely made me appreciate them even more. The staff at the store also mentioned these were apparently wildly anticipated and have been selling like crazy.
Antwon, how do you keep these clean? I know they're black, but a buddy of mine in NYC has the Kusari II and its white. Im thinking of copping some but idk what material it is and to keep it clean. Thanks!
I would definitely say they fit TTS, and my foot isn't really narrow. Also, I'm kinda not feeling the material for the large parts on the sides. They're going to be the first thing that starts to stain and get torn up. Other than that I like them a lot and they were worth the $400 in my opinion.
Maybe I just have giant toes or something D: Yeah, they'll probably get scuffed quite a lot since they stick out, although I imagine they'll be quite hard-wearing. And I'm hoping they'll look decent when they're a bit beaten up as well for those dystopian vibes
These are my favorite shoes ever!! but when I was out to buy them in size 45.3 it fitted perfect around the toe area but it was actually too wide for me in the ankle area.... They didn't have size 44 2/3 - do you think size 44 2/3 would fix the problem for me ... :(
These ones are from Blood Brother that I got in a sale a while back. Could check out Cos, Uniqlo, ASOS for affordable cropped pants or Yohji, Rick, ACG, Enfin Leve for some more premium options
This looks like anime kind of shoe. I love the design of it. Its also good that you show a lot of the shoe in foot rather than holding it in your hand. cheers keep up the good content
That’s a perfect setting for these kicks honestly. For those entourages that have that token sneaker head these would be iconic, very triangular in design as well so would’ve registered easily in low polygonal games like the ps1 era
Good review in general, since it explained on things that I was thinking on my head. No lie though Antwon, what are the pants you are wearing? Makes the whole look 10x better
As I reach down my southern rear region, dread overcomes me... Woe upon me, indeed, for the realization has dolorously dawned upon me that I, a fully grown individual, have once again shart myself. "Heh... It seems that the time has, once more, come for me to replace my adult diaper," I solemnly mutter to myself. Such is the effect of the sorrowful fact that I am unable to afford this pair of... might I say, overpriced, yet magnificent footwear. Damn you, Y-3. Damn you.
Y-3 honestly has no idea how to size things. I had a pair of green knitted qasas that fit me at my true size 11.5 and my current pair of the leather premium qasas fits 10.5. As for the rest I’ve tried on the pureboosts and they fit 11.5 and bashyos were tight at 11.5. I’m not sure anyone understands it.
Will James Agreed. Man im a natural 12.5 and Y-3 don't come any bigger so I'm assed out with these new dumb ass sizes. People that used to wear the brand can't even wear them any longer with these new dumb ass sizes. Very ignorant smh. Many Adidas sizing is jacked up not just the y3. Its annoying.
Rad af but damn expensive Check double red's boots, There's sadly no decent reviews of those on youtube and its kinda sad cuz their footwear r pretty cool for techwear and streetwear
Bought mine two days before you. Too scared to wear them. I live in Arizona. Too much dirt around here. Probably going to keep them as a modeling pair of shoes.
Rio McDowell I'm in Tucson az brother I feel you just bought some air Jordan 3 seouls I can't even wear them without a whole can of crept protect on them 😂
I love Y-3 so much. Futuristic and unique design. :) What do you think about noci high top?? it's too late to talk about it but I want to know how you think :♡
They're kinda cool, could definitely see them as a more futuristic replacement for military boots. They still have a few sizes on Flannels half price too
Sizing update: 0.5 up is more comfortable overall, the extra room in the toebox makes them fit fine there, and by tightening the laces a little more you can get a decent fit over the rest of the shoe too.

drum code so, half size up was right ?
Will you pick up the new Kaiwa Pods?
Thats sucks for me because my natural size is 12.5 and Y-3 don't come any bigger than that. Smh. Adidas is all over the place with their sizing
What? Over the top? Who the fuk wants the same old looking shoe silhouette, this is 2018, not 1980 with the same old retro look, looking like everybody else. I love futuristic sneakers well assemble, besides the unfinished materials on these Y3, these still look awesome!

I like these, but I'm not sure I $400 like these.
My Wallet doesn't like these
Y3 is priced to go on sale, usually 50% off or more
Yea Y-3 tends to lose it's value pretty fast
dw y3 goes on sale real quick
They're gonna go on sale, I picked up a pair of Saikou's for 99 bucks a month ago.
By far the coolest Y-3 for 2018.
Agreed!
Still cool in 2022!!!
I'm obsessed with these. Just ordered mine can't wait till they get here
did they give you a height boost ?
:D :D :D what the fuck! they look like pure shit!
-3 is what my bank account shows after buying this shoe
Just found your channel and what I love the most is not just the topic and detailed descriptions of the various items but the eximious usage of words. Great content. Subscribed.
just brought the new black white black colour way, super pleased to have seen this video first, cheers bro

I'll check it out :)
Thanks man, glad you enjoy 'em!
I agree that they are priced to go on sale. BUT the quality and the use of materials are also much better than regular adidas shoes.
Brilliant review! I agree with you about the similar aesthetic and thats one of the things I like most about the shoe.

Can always count on Ant for the prompt, in depth review - keep it up bby

I’ve always wanted a pair of these but why don’t they do anything bigger than a size 12 Uk 😢
I bought the white kaiwa and the red knitt kaiwa for $159 dollars each at Nordstrom. they are on sale right now.
Besides the price i have no issue with it. I really dig the design, the sign kinda look like a futuristic car concept to me👌🏽😁
Yes! Definitely got some space-age retrofuture kinda vibes
I copped the White silhouette, best color imo
Hey! You should do a follow up review of these to see how they held up, how they worn out, etc
These are my favorite shoes ever!! but when I was out to buy them in size 45.3 it fitted perfect around the toe area but it was actually too wide for me in the ankle area.... They didn't have size 44 2/3 - do you think size 44 2/3 would fix the problem for me ... :(
Like these a lot, couldn't afford at all though.
I got 11.5 in Yeezy 350. What would i fit in these?
I like the shoes. This will look good if you are wearing an all black outfit ninja style ( techwear ).
I have just seen the Magnus video, you seem a great guy, intelligent and interesting!
Ayy welcome! Thanks man
whats the model exact name .. y3 kaiwa .. but what model .? i cant find this exact model in my country and don t know how to search .
thank's i thougt i was the only who made the comparison with rick owens last collection!
I just got myself the yellow one’s
I don’t know why but this shoe kinda reminds me of a hammerhead shark silhouette.
where do I find wide cropped pants like the ones you wear in the on feet shots? 🔥
Janek Egli Uniqlo?
These ones are from Blood Brother that I got in a sale a while back. Could check out Cos, Uniqlo, ASOS for affordable cropped pants or Yohji, Rick, ACG, Enfin Leve for some more premium options
My dream shoes
Great review. Question for you... Do you have wide feet?
sooo dope - ordered mine already
Hey man do you know if there is any affordable shoes out there that look like the y-3 qasa boots?
This looks like anime kind of shoe. I love the design of it.
Its also good that you show a lot of the shoe in foot rather than holding it in your hand. cheers keep up the good content
Thanks Chandra! On-feet shots are way better at showing what they actually look like
That’s a perfect setting for these kicks honestly. For those entourages that have that token sneaker head these would be iconic, very triangular in design as well so would’ve registered easily in low polygonal games like the ps1 era
Found these less then half price in the uk. Impulse control won in that purchase war haha good shout on the price drop 👍🏽
Got a crazy discount on them from Farfetch and payed around 200$ for them
Good vid my man
the green ones are 50% off on the Y-3 site now
anyone experienced quality problem on the fabric of the tongue ?
Techwear will be the new dad fashion trend
hypebeasts don't have the originality to put together good techwear outfits
true
Correction tech wear will be for forward thinking people. Age has no parameters for this style. Tech wear is the furture.
No lmao
Dope Dads
Good review in general, since it explained on things that I was thinking on my head. No lie though Antwon, what are the pants you are wearing? Makes the whole look 10x better
Thanks! They're from Blood Brother - been looking for a similar pair for a while as they're perfect for this kind of shoe imo
do you often have such problems with your toe box? or does this occur to you only with this pair of shoes?
Just these - the only others where the toebox is small is my DAF1s, but mine are 0.5 down and they're known for having a narrow fit
Heyyy have you seen the Prada Cloudbursts line sneakers? They look like that black panther sneakers.
Yes! They're quite cool (as are the XY) but damn those prices D:
im saving up my money to buy a high top cloudburst. Plan to use it for everyday use. XD
Do they crease
Ayyyy I'm Australian
Any online discounted links? 😅
I think the back part is intended to be worn like a slip on...
As I reach down my southern rear region, dread overcomes me... Woe upon me, indeed, for the realization has dolorously dawned upon me that I, a fully grown individual, have once again shart myself. "Heh... It seems that the time has, once more, come for me to replace my adult diaper," I solemnly mutter to myself.

I don't know what I just read but I liked it
they don't make size 13 :(
Wow they look insane
Does anyone know if there is a place to get the soles replaced?
These are fire !
Y-3 honestly has no idea how to size things. I had a pair of green knitted qasas that fit me at my true size 11.5 and my current pair of the leather premium qasas fits 10.5.

Will James for me all worked pretty well.

Woohoo Adelaide shout out!
They're like £140 on offspring
How can you justify the price!!
Absolutely agree! Looking forward to picking these up. :)
For me the best
What is your knowledge or experience with Soletrader? They are selling them in chalk for $176.96
luv it but expensive
Rad af but damn expensive
Check double red's boots, There's sadly no decent reviews of those on youtube and its kinda sad cuz their footwear r pretty cool for techwear and streetwear
Thanks for the suggestion!
$400 rep?
Bought mine two days before you. Too scared to wear them. I live in Arizona. Too much dirt around here. Probably going to keep them as a modeling pair of shoes.
Rio McDowell I'm in Tucson az brother I feel you just bought some air Jordan 3 seouls I can't even wear them without a whole can of crept protect on them 😂
Jordan 3 seouls are a different story tho. They are much rarer and expensive than the Y3.
I like and dislike them at the same time. Very next level though.
I love Y-3 so much. Futuristic and unique design. :)
What do you think about noci high top?? it's too late to talk about it but I want to know how you think :♡
They're kinda cool, could definitely see them as a more futuristic replacement for military boots. They still have a few sizes on Flannels half price too
Ay anyone knows the beat he used in the intro?
Would love more shoe reviews
One coming up next week!
Quirks and features 😫👌
I like the sneaks , bit pricey thou
If only the sole was Boost
Y-3 KAWAIIII :3
DESU DESUUUU
There is something I like about these shoes, but in general they are really ugly in my opinion, but each to their own :)
Cool shoes, however it would not fit in to my current wardrobe.
They're probs not the easiest thing to style compared to a lot of sneakers, even most Y-3 stuff!
This Is Antwon the cropped pants you are wearing in the video are which brand? I may have missed them from a previous video but they look incredible!!
Yeesh
Some rick owen's shit
Y-3? More like Y?
Y not?
Antwon u so handsome 😍
u2 bb 😘
These shoes only look good when wearing tight cuffed joggers or pants
I'm JAPANESEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
YEEEEEEE
Looks like pumas.
Shoee
Naaa
Zaz zaz zez
this guy gets beat up....guaranteed.
These look like a shitty and really expensive version of the Nike huarache (drift)
Lmao just get harachss they both look the same and cheaper
too much. Y3 is straying away from its core. this is just exaggerated nmds.
I want to vomit! 🤢 🤮
These are just fake huaraches
