ASICS has been making great strides in the realm of fashion-forward models, colorways, and collaborations. Much like New Balance’s recent resurgence in the public consciousness, ASICS has quickly demonstrated they are more than “just” a performance sportswear company. Their latest project, done in collaboration with London based collective AFFIX WORKS – made up of Kiko Kostadinov, Michael Kopelman, Taro Smith, and Stephen Mann – combines the realms of high fashion, utilitarian design, and athleticism into two great products.
Releasing in “Strobe Blue” and “Mineral Brown” colorways, the AFFIX WORKS x ASICS Novablast share copper-toned lace stays and heel accents in their lightweight, mesh/knit constructed upper. The Strobe Blue version features a pale yellow FlyteFoam midsole and matching colored laces. “Mineral Brown” opts for a simpler, everyday style with an off-white FlyteFoam and beige laces. Both pairs release July 10th on the AFFIX webstore followed by a global retail release on July 17th.
