FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Y-3 Runner 4DFWD generally follows standard adidas sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size for the best fit.

Can I use these for running?

While they are performance-oriented, the Y-3 Runner 4DFWD is primarily a fashion-forward trainer intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than intensive long-distance running.

How do I clean the white detailing?

Spot clean the white sections with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor the material.

What is the 4D midsole made of?

The 4D midsole is created using high-performance light and oxygen-curable resins through a digital light synthesis process.

Is the Y-3 line part of standard adidas?

Y-3 is a collaboration between adidas and designer Yohji Yamamoto, focusing on high-fashion, avant-garde designs while utilizing adidas technology.

Troubleshooting

Debris stuck in the 4D midsole lattice

Use a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air to gently dislodge particles from the structure.

Minor scuffs on the upper material

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth with a very mild cleaning solution to buff the area lightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Y-3 trainers remain in pristine condition, proper maintenance is essential. Because of the intricate lattice design of the 4D midsole, dust and debris can occasionally get trapped within the structure; we recommend using a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the gaps after outdoor use. Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources to prevent material deformation. For general cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them fully in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and fabric treatments.
