Adidas Originals and MRBAILEY reunite for a new chapter of their ever-evolving creative partnership, unveiling the ADIZERO ARUKU YAGI silhouette—an inspired collision of sculptural design, nature-informed engineering, and the technical edge that defines the Three Stripes’ most progressive footwear. This collaboration, known for its inventive research-driven process, advances once again with a bold, trail-hiking interpretation of the adizero lineage, reshaping the future-facing aesthetic of performance footwear.
Its name, translated from Japanese as “Walking Goat,” offers a poetic clue to the sneaker’s core philosophy. The ADIZERO ARUKU YAGI channels the agility, balance, and terrain-adapted movement of wild goats, blending these natural ergonomics with the modern craftsmanship that has come to define MRBAILEY’s visionary approach. This is a sneaker built not just for motion, but for an elevated kind of motion—fluid, intuitive, and grounded in the conversation between the natural world and engineered performance.
At the heart of its construction is a split-trail outsole, inspired directly by the anatomy of hooves and sculpted to maximize stability and traction. Each stride becomes more purposeful, more connected to the terrain beneath it. The all-black silhouette amplifies this forceful presence with a molded TPU rib-cage that feels both architectural and organic. Hiking rubber overlays, an external heel stabilizer, and an asymmetric quick lacing system layer on an atmospheric ruggedness while preserving sculptural precision. This is a design sharpened by intention.
True to the ADIZERO ARUKU family, the YAGI silhouette incorporates nitrogen-charged SWIRLFOAM cushioning, giving the sneaker its signature responsiveness. A gentle rocker midsole complements the organic flow of movement, ensuring the stride feels forward-driving, smooth, and effortlessly supported. The final effect is a sneaker that feels alive with motion—even when standing still.
Together, Adidas Originals and MRBAILEY deliver not just a new silhouette but a statement piece that expands the conversation around contemporary performance design. The ADIZERO ARUKU YAGI does more than reinterpret the outdoors—it reframes how the body moves within it.
