Asics has found yet another interesting collaborator to create their take on one of the Japanese footwear brand’s iconic silhouette. Next year, Jean Touitou’s A.P.C. label will release their first Asics collaboration, featuring the GEL-Kayano 14.
Devout followers of the world of fashion will undoubtedly recognize the name A.P.C., the brand founded in 1987 by Jean Touitou known for their raw Japanese denim bottoms. The label has been supplying fans with high-end basics for over three decades now, and even started their own in-house footwear line after their work with Nike came to an end in the early 2010s. This week, the first images of a new collaboration surfaced online, seeing A.P.C. team up with Asics.
A.P.C. is back with their first collaboration with a major sneaker brand in years, after their Nike team-ups ended in 2011. This time, they’ve sought out Asics, to give their take on the brand’s popular GEL-Kayano 14 retro. In classic A.P.C. fashion, the shoe gets a simple, neutral color scheme, with a mix of white and cream shades for the upper. Metallic silver accents are sprinkled around the shoe, with a mirror chrome finish on the Asics stripes to complete the look.
