Y-3 Unveils the GSG9 Sandal: A Tactical Twist on Summer Footwear
By Editor • September 10, 2026 • 1 min read
adidas has taken a bold step into the summer sandal market with the launch of the Y-3 GSG9 Sandal, part of its Spring/Summer 2026 collection. Designed in collaboration with renowned designer Yohji Yamamoto, this footwear piece blends utilitarian style with a refreshing aesthetic aimed at redefining sneaker sandals.
The GSG9 Sandal showcases a unique design featuring an intricate crisscross strap system paired with a robust outsole. Its muted tones of nude and cream, complemented by contrasting suede and leather materials, give it a sophisticated edge while drawing inspiration from tactical footwear.
Interestingly, the sandal's design pays homage to the original GSG9 tactical police boot, created in the 1970s for Germany's elite counter-terrorism unit. This connection to military aesthetics is not new for adidas, which has previously incorporated elements from armed services into its footwear lines, including the popular BW Army Decon sneakers.
