ASICS Adds Balletcore Flair to GEL-NUNOBIKI with New Pink Ribbon Release

ASICS continues to explore fresh territory for its GEL-NUNOBIKI silhouette, this time leaning into fashion-forward territory with a new balletcore-inspired colorway. Dressed in pastel pink with oversized ribbon laces, the update offers a whimsical take on a trail-meets-lifestyle model that’s quietly become a cult favorite.

The GEL-NUNOBIKI has roots in outdoor readiness, with its sturdy sole unit and layered upper construction borrowed from ASICS’ trail and road running archives. While past colorways leaned on neutral palettes, this new pair embraces soft tones and stylized flair. A near-monochromatic pink finish dominates the upper, from mesh to leather overlays, while the tonal ribbon laces add a unique, feminine touch.

The silhouette received significant attention earlier this year through a collaborative release with COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT. Since then, ASICS has steadily introduced inline options that retain the model’s functional DNA while allowing expressive styling. The latest version builds on that concept, maintaining all performance cues while nodding to emerging aesthetic trends in fashion, including the rise of balletcore.

Pairs of the pink ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI are expected to land on ASICS.com and select retailers this fall.

In more pressing news, the Air Jordan 14 "Ferrari" returns this week.
