As autumn leaves carpeted the ground in 2022, a creative alliance took shape on the horizon, bringing together the prowess of HAL Studios and the legacy of ASICS. This collaboration culminated in a unique trilogy themed around the GEL-1130 silhouette. After traversing through the lush environs of "Forest" and the earthy allure of "Earth," this narrative now finds its denouement in the refreshing embrace of the "Glacier."
This latest masterpiece envelops the foot in soothing "Birch" shades. These cooler tones drape across the sneaker's breathable mesh foundation and are complemented by the occasional touch of leather and a uniquely textured suede that adorns the brand's logo and mudguard. Introducing a depth of contrast, the deep brown accents find their way into the plush leather panels on the sides and heel, setting a rich backdrop. The GEL-infused sole remains true to its neutral lineage, promising comfort with every step.
But it's in the details where this collaboration truly comes alive. Dual lace options offer a touch of customization: one mirrors the "Off-White" palette of the sneaker, while the other, a bold crimson, offers a surprising pop of color, adding an element of surprise to the otherwise serene design.
The HAL Studios x ASICS GEL-1130 “Glacier” (Birch) will be released on August 25th on ASICS.com and select stockists globally.
