Where to Buy the MIN-NANO x ASICS GEL-Nimbus 10.1

MIN-NANO, a Japanese skate imprint rapidly gaining global recognition, is making waves with its debut collaboration with ASICS on the GEL-Nimbus 10.1. This highly anticipated partnership marks a significant milestone for both brands and is already available at select ASICS retailers.

Founder Goro Nakatsugawa, known for his laid-back yet intentional design ethos, shared his approach to this collaboration, emphasizing simplicity over a grand theme or narrative. As a long-time fan of ASICS, Nakatsugawa sought to create a shoe that embraced a more understated, "less sporty" aesthetic, staying true to modern sensibilities. The resulting design features a neutral grey and off-white color palette, evoking a Y2K vibe that aligns with contemporary trends.

The shoe's profile reflects this minimalist vision, seamlessly blending the calm tones of grey and off-white. Nakatsugawa’s unique touch is evident in the geometric print running from the quarter to the heel and a wider mesh arrangement, lending a subtle yet distinctive flair to the classic silhouette.

The MIN-NANO x ASICS GEL-Nimbus 10.1 has already his global ASICS.com sites and select retailers — mostly sold out — with a few stragglers penning a release for November 30.
