Who is Chito and what story does this collaboration tell?

Chito, born Chito Gonzales in 1996 in Seattle, is a world-renowned American visual artist whose work is rooted in illegal graffiti writing. As a self-taught artist, he transitioned from classic train tagging to a unique airbrush painting technique. His goal was to rid graffiti of its negative stigma and bring street grit into galleries and luxury fashion houses.

Before completely reshaping the adidas Y-3 aesthetic, he collaborated with giants like Givenchy (under Matthew M. Williams) and Supreme. Chito is known for his philosophy "fewer lines = greater efficiency" and his iconic dog motif "Pup." He infused Yohji Yamamoto's black-and-white minimalism with raw street energy while maintaining the premium luxury that the community loves.

The Y-3 x Chito Running Collection

This collection is not just about visual style – it's fundamentally designed for maximum performance on the track. You'll find a functional drop that combines advanced sports technology with high-end aesthetics. The collection features ultra-light, windproof running jackets and technical windbreakers that protect you from the elements without weighing you down. Complementing these are premium functional t-shirts, tank tops made from highly breathable materials, and ergonomically cut running shorts that wick away sweat and ensure absolute freedom of movement.

The crown jewel of the collection is the limited Y-3 running sneakers, built on elite foundations of the best racing and training models from adidas (such as the iconic silhouettes Takumi Sen or Boston). These high-tech sneakers combine groundbreaking Lightstrike Pro cushioning technology, carbon EnergyRods for maximum energy return, and a unique airy airbrush design crafted by artist Chito.
