Y-3, the label born from the ongoing creative partnership between Yohji Yamamoto and adidas, has teamed up with SLAM JAM and designer Michele Rizzo on a new Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 collection. The project brings together three distinct worlds, high fashion, streetwear curation, and Formula 1 motorsport, into a single release that looks to translate racing culture into wearable pieces built around Y-3’s athletic silhouettes.
Y-3 launched in the early 2000s as a meeting point between Yohji Yamamoto’s Tokyo-rooted, avant-garde tailoring and adidas’s deep history in sport performance footwear. The brand sits in a rare space where runway-level design and technical sportswear share the same shelf, and over the years it has built a reputation for unconventional silhouettes, premium materials, and collaborations that pull from unexpected corners of culture and industry.
SLAM JAM is a Bologna-based boutique with a long history of connecting bold designers and brands on limited projects. The shop has earned a reputation across Europe and beyond for shaping the creative direction of partnerships that lean experimental, and its involvement here alongside designer Michele Rizzo signals that this collection was built with a clear visual and conceptual point of view, not just a logo swap.
The Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team is one of the most recognizable names in Formula 1, known for a silver and black visual identity that has become closely tied to the sport itself. Bringing that aesthetic into conversation with Y-3’s design language and SLAM JAM’s curatorial instincts gives this collection a strong reference point, even before specific pieces are fully revealed.
Specific shoe models and pricing for the Y-3 x SLAM JAM x Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 collection have not yet been confirmed. Release details, including availability and exact pricing, are expected to surface through Y-3 and SLAM JAM channels, so checking both directly is the best move for staying ahead of the drop. While you wait on those details, it is worth exploring Y-3’s broader catalog of athletic silhouettes to get a feel for the kind of design language this collection will likely build on.
