After the successful collaboration with Adidas and the release of their Superstars, Dime has swiftly transitioned into their next big project. This time, the Montreal-based skateboarding brand has joined forces with Japanese footwear stalwart ASICS, and they've chosen Paris Fashion Week as the perfect stage to unveil their creation.
The Dime x ASICS GT-2160, a silhouette that has somewhat slipped from the public eye recently, is central to this partnership. The revamped GT-2160 is seen sporting a tasteful colorway that embraces the elegance of neutral tones. A pleasing cream shade adorns the signature Tiger stripes and the adjoining overlays, while two distinct gradients provide a dynamic backdrop on the midsole and the mesh base.
A touch of flair is added through silver metallic finishes strategically placed to accentuate various shoe elements, including the "Dime" branding and the detailing around the foxing. This well-orchestrated blend of muted hues and metallic highlights demonstrates Dime's ability to bring a fresh perspective to a classic silhouette while staying true to ASICS' time-honored design ethos.
After an exclusive preview at Dover Street Market in Paris last month, followed by a limited release on Dime's platform, the Dime x ASICS GT-2160 is set for a wider release on July 22nd. Both select retailers and ASICS.com have confirmed the launch, making this one of the most anticipated drops of the summer. So, mark your calendars and prepare to add a touch of Parisian flair to your sneaker collection.
