The Carnival x ASICS GT-2160 Arrives August 29

ASICS continues to expand its collaborative efforts, this time crossing the China Sea in partnership with Bangkok's Carnival, who brings a unique urban-nature fusion to the ASICS GT-2160 model.

Inspired by nature's resilience in urban environments, the design concept for this sneaker is the "flower growing through the cracks" of a concrete jungle. This theme is vividly captured on the sneaker’s upper, where emerald metallics and lush green mesh contrast sharply with interposed chrome leather overlays, symbolizing the clash between the natural world and urban life.

Further emphasizing the urban theme, the sock liner features a grid-like texture reminiscent of city streets, enhancing the tactile experience. True to form for any collaboration, the sneaker includes exclusive branding details. Carnival’s name is prominently displayed on the heel counter, while an orange jeweled ASICS logo adorns the heel, adding a signature touch to the GT-2160.

Set to drop through a unique app raffle, registration for the Carnival x ASICS GT-2160 opens on August 29th. This release promises to be a standout, merging the gritty essence of cityscapes with the organic beauty of nature.
