Alife & Asics Collaborate On NYC Marathon-Inspired Shoes

Streetwear brand and retailer Alife and athletic brand Asics have teamed up for an NYC-themed collection, paying homage to the upcoming NYC Marathon, with two shoes: a classic running favorite and a current performance runner.

The Alife x Asics Gel-Kayano Trainer and Gel-Kayano 22 will be available Oct. 30 at the Alife NYC location and on its e-commerce website, aliferivingtonclub.com. Retail prices for the shoes have not yet been released.

The Gel-Kayano Trainer features a perforated pigskin and mesh with reflective 3M accents and underlay. The Gel-Kayano 22 boasts the brand’s seamless FluidFit upper with reflective 3M accents and underlay. Both shoes use gray mesh for the uppers; a red, white and blue midsole; and a classic gum outsole.

Asics, one of the sponsors of the NYC Marathon, has a collection of shoes dedicated to the race, featuring three of its top performance shoes adorned in graffiti for men and women – the Gel-Quantum 360, the Gel-Nimbus 17 and the Gel-Kayano 22.

The NYC Marathon will take place on Nov. 6.
