Known for his witty humor and effortlessly lovable charm, Joel McHale is not just a funny guy, he’s a funny guy with a sense of style. The host of “The Soup” on E! and  NBC’s “Community”, Joel is one of TV’s most beloved funny men today.

He recently stopped by the adidas office and did an impromptu photoshoot sporting some of his favorite adidas gear (from Clima Cool, to adidas Originals, to Y-3).

It’s clear to see that Mr. McHale really knows how to rock his adidas!

Visionary designer Yohji Yamamoto is the subject of a short and intimate documentary film directed by Theodore Stanley. The extremely private fashion design icon lets the world take a rare peek at his creative process from conception to the runway.

Hailed as a master of modern fashion, Yamamoto is best known for his use of asymmetry and androgyny in his designs. His penchant for structural silhouettes makes his avant-garde designs utterly distinctive. In the film, Yohji Yamamoto opens up about his artistic inspirations and takes the film crew through his entire creative cycle for his collaboration line with adidas, Y-3.

First introduced back in 2002, adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto was really the first of its kind in terms of brand-designer collaborations. It has since become recognized as the future of fine sportswear.

The intimate documentary ties in to Yamamoto’s 10-year anniversary with adidas and is set to be released to the public in the fall of 2011.

Urban life has its share of advantages: trendy hotspots, energetic environment, and dynamic lifestyle. But city living also poses a few challenges like public transport, rush hour traffic and higher costs of living. Treading the urban landscape takes not only bold strides in lifestyle, it takes keen fashion sense. Here, we highlight some casual style essentials for the upscale urbanite. After all, when you live in a fashion-conscious city, style doesn’t take a day off.

Modern-meets-retro: when it comes to casual urban clothing, go for pieces that are simple and sleek, but with a dose of retro. The adidas Y-3 Nomad Jacket is a fresh example of utilitarian style with a bold twist. Interesting twists on classics are also a great way to achieve the urban-chic look. Take the adidas by Stella McCartney Cover Up Gym Sweater for example; its classic simplicity makes it a great closet staple.

City Kicks: Keep those daily walking commutes comfortable with a pair of sleek sneakers like the adidas Y-3 Honja Classic for men, or the superbly sporty adidas by Stella McCartney Thallo Ballerina flats.

Utilitarian bags: A busy life comes with lots of stuff. Keep your essentials squared away in a simple messenger tote like the adidas Y-3 Toile Porter or a sleek and roomy nylon backpack like adidas by Stella Mccartney backpack.

We have experienced a high-top renaissance in the past year that has painted the Internet with retro colors, throwback styles and a whirlwind of different fabrics. Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and the authentic sports brand adidas have revolutionized the footwear industry, creating a new category in fashion. adidas represents sport, Yohji Yamamoto represents design. Yohji Yamamoto and adidas both symbolize true craftsmanship, and together they have developed the future in sportswear.  

Clean lines and artistic details keep this adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto Honja High a winning choice for sleek and versatile sporty fashion. B-Boys rejoice! These metallic kicks feature a hidden lacing system so you can focus on your breaks instead of your laces. The full-grain leather upper with metallic finish and embossed Y-3 details make the Honja High one of the most sought after high-tops in the game.

The ongoing success of the brand can be credited to the perfect blend of adidas' expertise and innovation in sport functionality and Yohji Yamamoto's signature sense of style. Check out the full line of adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto on Zappos Couture.
