The S’YTE x MOONSTAR 001 Marks a New Footwear Chapter for Yohji Yamamoto’s Label The debut sneaker combines MOONSTAR’s production heritage with S’YTE’s restrained design language. Name: S’YTE x MOONSTAR Logo Cotton Canvas Sneakers GC/001 Colorway: Black/White SKU: TBC MSRP: ¥29,700 JPY (approx. $191 USD) Release Date: September 19 Where to Buy: YOHJI YAMAMOTO S’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.
