While exact colors and design details remain under wraps for now, the jersey is expected to showcase Yamamoto's distinct avant-garde, monochrome-leaning sensibilities fused with classic Italian football elegance.

Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto have steadily grown their footprint in elite football over the past decade. The partnership made history with Real Madrid through iconic shirts like the 2014-15 dragon kit, before expanding onto the international stage in 2024 when Y-3 produced flame-themed kits and an extensive lifestyle collection for the Japan national team.
Bringing the Y-3 aesthetic to Italy marks an ideal convergence of sportswear and high fashion, given the country's celebrated sartorial heritage. Italy rarely strays far from their traditional royal blue and white primary strips, meaning alternate and third releases provide a unique canvas for daring, fashion-forward storytelling.
The new Adidas Italy Y-3 third shirt is set to arrive in 2027. More details on the design and exact color combination are expected to emerge in the coming months.
