For Him and Her

Building on the success of the partnership between ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov Studio, they will be resuming their curatorial series for Spring/Summer 2024. Look out for the UB10-S GEL-KAYANO™ 20 sneaker which draws inspiration from the themes of Interlaced Assemblages, Functional Utopias, and Mino Ceramics.

The shoe features soft textures which are combined with the idea of handcrafted elements found in iconic artwork. The sneaker has a matte and washed colour appearance, which enhances the heritage running shoe’s archival shape and build. Contrasted with grid-like patterns and bold opaque colours, the Functional Utopia inspired variations apply direct correlations with nature.

The glossy primary colourways are offset with metallic structures that accentuate the double-layer mesh materialization.

The designers have also explored Mino ceramic influences by looking at the contemporary processes of the rust-like qualities that appear in Mino glazes. This process looks to imagery as a vessel with degraded colours that have the ability to stand the test of time.

The new UB10-S GEL-KAYANO™ 20 are available in a variety of colours which include Hunter Green/Jade and Glacier Grey/Lavender Grey and you can get them at Shelflife, Lemkus, Archive and Sneaker District and online at BASH.com
