The Qasa Boot, of which this pair is article BB4803 and believed to date from around 2016 to 2017, extends that idea up the ankle into a lace-up boot with an almost military bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper is a black woven textile with a fine diagonal texture, panelled with smooth leather at the heel counter and toe. The broad elastic strap crosses the instep, black laces run high up the shaft and a side zip makes it easy to get on and off. The heel carries an embossed Y-3 logo, the sidewall the Yohji Yamamoto name, and the sole is moulded with the label's graphic tread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 26.5 cm (around US 8.5), outsole length 30 cm, width 10 cm and height 24.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Qasa family is now remembered as one of the moments when Y-3 shaped sneaker culture rather than following it, and the boot is the rarest of its forms. Worn under cropped black trousers or with a long coat, it carries the same blend of utility and severity that runs through Yohji Yamamoto's own collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with the original Y-3 box and a set of spare laces, and offers an accessible way into the Yohji-era Y-3 footwear archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Y-3 (Yohji Yamamoto and adidas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Believed to be around 2016-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e BB4803, Qasa Boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textile and leather upper; rubber sole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not stated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outsole length 30 cm · Outsole width 10 cm · Height 24.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original box and spare laces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-owned with light wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight marks and rubbing to the outsoles, upper surface and interior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructure, zip and elastic sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith original box and spare laces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eAB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
