KENZO x ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 Collection Releases January 23

The upcoming collaboration between KENZO and ASICS is set to make waves in early 2024, showcasing a striking blend of high fashion and performance with the GEL-Kayano 20 Collection.

This new series represents a bold step for KENZO, now under the creative direction of NIGO, as they delve deeper into performance footwear. Following their impressive debut of KENZO's own running shoes at Paris Fashion Week, this collection promises to cement further the fashion house's commitment to innovative and stylish athletic designs.

The collection features two vibrant, eye-catching options and one more subdued palette catering to diverse preferences. NIGO has skillfully integrated a shaggy tiger stripe design in two sneakers, one in beige and the other in blue. The blue option amplifies the visual interest with colorful details on the profile overlay, a blend of pink and orange tints on the midsoles, and vibrant blue suede at the toe. This sneaker is a celebration of color, perfect for those who love to make a bold statement with their footwear.

In contrast, the beige sneaker opts for a more reserved approach, relying on a combination of whites, blacks, and gold. This colorway is ideal for sneaker enthusiasts who appreciate subtlety and understated elegance in their shoes, offering a sophisticated option within the collection.

The third sneaker in the collection is a veritable Rubik's cube of design featuring bold primary and secondary hues. It boasts geometric patterns on translucent uppers, complemented by verdant green mesh toes and royal blue toe caps. The vibrant yellow liners and mint-tinted laces add further layers of color, making this sneaker a standout piece in the collection.

Each sneaker in the KENZO x ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 Collection reflects NIGO's unique vision and the fusion of high fashion with performance footwear. The collection promises to be a dynamic addition to the sneaker market, appealing to various tastes and styles.

The KENZO x ASICS sneaker will first be introduced through a launch on https://kenzo.runfair.com on January 22nd, 2024, running from 11:00 AM CET to January 23rd 11:59 PM CET.

A wider release will hot select retailers on January 26.
