A full collection after the Paris teaser
Y-3 and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team have launched the full version of their collaborative Spring/Summer 2026 collection, following a teaser of select pieces during the label's Fall/Winter 2026 Paris Fashion Week presentation. According to the team's own announcement, the capsule arrived on March 19, 2026, and was pitched as a union of avant-garde design and motorsport performance after more than two decades of Y-3 operating between fashion and technical sportswear. 1
The team described the partnership as endorsed by the entire Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 squad at the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, with further details to be unveiled as the story unfolded. Australian outlet Boss Hunting characterised the release as one of the more ambitious crossovers between luxury fashion and motorsport in recent memory, noting Y-3's status as an official Team Partner of the squad. 15
Russell, Antonelli and Wolff front the 'Racing Lights' campaign
The launch campaign features drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli alongside Team Principal and CEO Toto Wolff. Per the team's announcement, the imagery was set during the transition from sunset to night, capturing racing lights and evoking brake sparks and flashes across the track — an aesthetic Yohji Yamamoto's label frames as 'Racing Lights', moving between natural light and artificial glow. 13
Retailer Miralles 1986 describes the same visual narrative, with marked contrasts, light and shadow and graphics inspired by speed translating the circuit's intensity into streetwear. Boss Hunting's report added that the campaign was staged ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, with the drivers photographed against a backdrop of shifting race conditions. 25
The wolf motif and smoke graphics
At the centre of the collection sits a recurring wolf graphic motif, which the team's announcement describes as rooted in Japanese mythology — a guardian symbolising speed, instinct and bravery. The artwork originally adorned adidas' F50 Tunit football boots in 2006, and returns across the team and fanwear as a nod to the team's drivers and their leader. 15
The fanwear also carries a graphic print drawing on the sight of smoke billowing from the team's race cars, an element Japanese department store Hankyu highlighted in its product listing, describing the print as visually expressing the energy of the track. 14
What the collection includes, and what it costs
The capsule spans racing jackets — Boss Hunting describes versions with theatrical 'Mercedes' lettering across the chest — oversized trousers, driving boots and a balaclava, alongside hoodies, graphic T-shirts, shirts, caps, a backpack and socks. Retailer Miralles 1986 lists pieces including a team jacket and team trousers at 280 euro each with VAT included, a zip-up hoodie at 250 euro, and Wolf-themed balaclava and podium cap accessories. 25
Japanese pricing from Hankyu Department Store, which stocked the full collection from its March 19 release, shows the Y-3 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team jacket at 286,000 yen and leather racing pants at 290,400 yen, with a cotton long-sleeve shirt and sport uniform cargo shorts each at 46,200 yen, track pants at 52,800 yen, and a driver short-sleeve jersey, Yohji graphic long-sleeve tee and striped high socks completing the range. These are Hankyu's listed Japanese retail prices and differ in basis from the euro prices quoted by Miralles 1986. 4
Availability and buying channels
The capsule dropped on March 19, 2026. Boss Hunting reported the release via the adidas CONFIRMED app and adidas.com, while Miralles 1986 offers a selected range of the capsule to European buyers, and Hankyu ran a remote ordering service for customers in Japan, subject to stock availability and shipping conditions. 45
The team's announcement had flagged that further details would be unveiled around the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, where the collection was set to be endorsed by the full team at what the announcement called a landmark moment. 1
