Ladies and Gentlemen, the Y-3 Hayworth Mid II.
Take a second to take it all in.
Yohji Yamamoto’s creation is the exception to my three kick rules.
Rule 1: The Swoosh Rule. If Nike gave out endorsements on merit, I’d get one. These, however are not Nike’s. They are Y-3 Adidas.
Rule 2. The Bill Rule. Stay under $100. These shits hit for $270. Get your recession on.
Rule 3: The Waiting Rule. Gotty™ waits 24-48 hours. I wait until I look at my bank balance and my bills. Usually takes me a few hours to gather the courage to do so. These were copped when they dropped.
Twice.
The purpose of the shoes defines the purchase. They were copped exclusively for those moments where I have to take my kick game to a more mature level. I don’t mess with Prada’s and Gucci’s and all those 5 letter Italian brands.
I have Japanese tendencies. If it’s not Hiroshi Fujiwara, it’s Yohji Yamamoto.

not bad, but not my cup of tea
Yeah those are sick – I think I’ve come to the terms that I’m Nike > everything else. But I’ll mess with something else other than Reebok.
Sadly those Prada Competitions are so over-exposes, but I still want a pair. Cole Haan G-Series are a personal fave of mine as well.
Id work with those black joints. BUT 270? Dayum…i need a loan and some courage to drop that on shoes.

I love Y-3′s…now all I need to do is get rich real quick.
One.
I usually just have the Swoosh rule.
These are fresh…. I only like the black one.
I can’t even emphasize how much I stick to the swoosh rule. It’s obscene really.
These came at a good time for me. Gotty had gotten me back into the habit of selling kicks I didnt need, so I threw up a few (by that I mean alot) on eBay and then blew the returns on the black ones. The brown ones were an afterthought because the black ones had gotten so much praise.
270 is alot. but the way i see it, i cop kicks for 100 that last me 2 months before being evicted, so if I’m copping something that will last a year or so….yeah. the math adds up.
I’m probably gonna sell the brown ones whenever I get home though.
Same. Spending a grip on an expensive shoe doesn’t bug me out as much once I copped a pair of Gucci joints a few years ago. You just have to be real selective & buy some shit that’s versatile. Those black joints are slick as hell.
I’m tempted to drop on some black Common Projects but that silhouette…i just know I’ll hate’em after a few wears lol. I ain’t fucked w/a lowtop Chuck style ever.
The black ones are hot; but the price is outrageous
270 wha? dem bad tho! (the black & whites)
The black ones are slick but not worth the price of admission (for me). When you wear dress shoes 5 days out of the week, weekend gear quickly becomes irrelevant. I’m currently rotating about 4 outfits on the weekend because my Saturday and Sunday outings don’t include more than the grocery store, laundry mat and Best Buy.
The black & whites will do… too bad I just dropped 6 bills on some j3′s and foamposite 1′s in Miami… I like Gucci but the price on these are reaonable so I would cop…
also.. FYI – Jake One & Heltah Skeltah albums are $7.99 at Best Buy for those who still buy cd’s…

Sick…
Where………….To…………Cop?
besides the y-3 store sites, i need the black or brown. but im not sure my size either
They make them in 12 4E? Hah.
That’s why I have to stick to New Balance or buy everything a size or a size and a half bigger than I need in the toe. Sigh. It’s bullshit I know.
The black ones get the thumbs up…that price tag gets the thumbs down.
@otis. Prowl, fam.
The kicks are pretty hard to find…they sell out pretty fast whenever they get “restocked”. Every now and again, a pair pops up on eBay but it always ends up selling for like 350 +
Ugly. Very ugly. I’d rather rock orthopaedic shoes
^ I wholeheartedly disagree. Those shits are slicker than a mofo. There’s a few negatives to the shoe but looks really aren’t one of them.
damn…..
makes me actually consider a purchase from Adidas for once…haha.
I have the solution to all of your problems.
Each one of yall give me 10 bucks..or 20 if ur feeling wealthy. I buy them and lend em to u every once in a while (2 years) for a day and we will al live happily ever after.
the end.
i got the OG joints:

With those on you might fuck around a get a triple double!!
If I’m droppin’ that much loot it’s gotta be for the Air Max exclusive shit, quickstrikes.
Each buy keeps my feet fly and hot like a deep fry
