Building on the continued success of the partnership between ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov Studio, they will continue their curatorial series for spring/summer 2024 and release three new models between February and May.
This chapter of the partnership is about breaking new ground and continuing to experiment with color, materiality, and performance.
ASICS SportStyle and the Kiko Kostadinov Studio were inspired by nature and explored landscapes, conditions and natural phenomena to develop color profiles and silhouettes.
Based on the fusion and interplay of natural elements, the materials are juxtaposed. Expect matte and iridescent textures, glossy surfaces, and mosaic-like patterns — all of these are design features that fans of previous models are used to seeing from this partnership.
Trail runners will be drawn to the US4-S GEL terrain sneaker, whose design was taken from the GT-2000 8.
The seamless outer material has a topographic design, dark shades are contrasted with shades and mosaics with color accents, and the FlyteFoam technology in the sole provides stability under the foot.
The UB6-S GT-2160 (photos still under embargo) sneaker is a streamlined silhouette that brings back memories of ASICS running shoes from 2010.
The redesigned tongue and vamp structure give the model a unique layering effect, while GEL technology throughout the midsole provides improved cushioning.
The US5-S GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC (photos still under embargo) embodies a variety of references from the ASICS archive and is inspired by four different ASICS classics.
The design, developed in collaboration with ASICS ISS (Institute of Sport Science), combines progressive, geometric design lines with neutral tones and calm colors.
The SCUTOID GEL construction provides increased shock absorption, while an internal heel cap provides stability and comfort around the base of the foot. Each of the color variants is slowly superimposed on the other, sublime color palettes, which become ever darker as the series progresses.
All SS24 ASICS Curation models will be released over the course of the spring/summer 24 season, starting with the release of the ASICS US4-S GEL-TERRAIN on February 23, 2024.
Keep our Sneaker Releases in the eye.
