Asics releases two new colorways of the GEL-1130: white clay canyon & cream ironclad.
After the tremendous success of the new colorways of Asics Gel-NYC, Asics introduces new colorways of the Gel-1130. This sneaker immediately gives a retro feel with its predominant mesh underlay and reflective overlays. This model is originally a running shoe, inspired by a model from 2008. Asics describes the shoe as a "late 2000s runners aesthetic". The sneaker is a favorite among Asics fans and is described as a comfortable sneaker that is perfect for hitting the road. The white clanyon features an off white outsole with a white upper combined with reflective silver overlays and brown details. The cream ironclad switches this up with a white outsole and an off white upper combined with reflective silver overlays and green details.
For this release, Asics focuses on versatility and diversity, which is why they have chosen to do multiple colaborations. They went to Tokyo to work with Sabkaru (Japanese for subculture), an international magazine that keeps the world updated on Japanese trends.
