Name: S’YTE x MOONSTAR Logo Cotton Canvas Sneakers GC/001Colorway: Black/WhiteSKU: TBCMSRP: ¥29,700 JPY (approx. $191 USD)Release Date: September 19Where to Buy: YOHJI YAMAMOTOS’YTE, the Yohji Yamamoto label built around its “Anti-Mode” philosophy, is entering the footwear realm with the S’YTE x MOONSTAR 001 — a collaborative sneaker based on MOONSTAR’s heritage GYM CLASSIC.Constructed in Japan from durable cotton canvas, the low-top retains the roomy proportions of the athletic-derived original while introducing S’YTE-specific embroidery at the tongue and branded heel patches. The shoe is produced through MOONSTAR’s FINE VULCANIZED line, using a vulcanization process that bonds the rubber sole to the upper for flexibility and durability, while the upper is shaped and fitted to the insole by hand through the traditional “tsurikomi” process.The Black and White colorways both lean into S’YTE’s characteristically stark palette while reversing their contrasts. The Black edition with a deep black canvas upper, matching black rubber toe cap and sole, offset by crisp white laces and white S’YTE tongue embroidery; its heel carries a tonal black patch finished with contrasting “BLACK IS MODEST” branding.The White version flips the treatment with natural off-white canvas, black laces, black foxing and toe protection, plus a bold vertical black strip running down the heel for a graphic, utilitarian finish. Marking the “001” starting point for S’YTE’s footwear category, the sneakers releases on September 19 with distribution through THE SHOP YOHJI YAMAMOTO and select S’YTE, WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO and Ground Y locations.

Name: BROTHER BRIDGE x KAMIYA HENRY BootMSRP: TBCRelease Date: September 19Where to Buy: KAMIYABROTHER BRIDGE and KAMIYA have joined forces on a collaborative boot that reworks the Asakusa-based shoemaker’s signature HENRY through KAMIYA’s vintage-informed design language. Retaining the model’s tall, lace-up construction, the collaboration adds extra volume through the toe for a heavier, more substantial silhouette. Two colorways highlight contrasting treatments of calf leather: Black arrives in smooth leather with a cleaner, subtly lustrous surface, while Brown uses suede, giving the boot a softer, matte appearance with greater textural depth. The dark tonal palettes, metal eyelets and extended lacing maintain the HENRY’s utilitarian character while the enlarged proportions push the familiar shape in a more rugged direction.KAMIYA’s preference for worn-in finishes is further explored through an additional vintage-treated version, which is distressed to resemble a boot that has already undergone years of wear despite being new. The effect introduces an intentionally weathered appearance that contrasts with the cleaner standard editions, reinforcing the label’s longstanding interest in aged and imperfect surfaces. As a result, the differing smooth, suede and distressed treatments allow the collaboration to move between polished and deliberately lived-in finishes while preserving BROTHER BRIDGE’s recognizable footwear framework. The BROTHER BRIDGE x KAMIYA HENRY boots are scheduled to release on September 19 through KAMIYA’s directly operated store, its online shop and authorized retailers.
