Ronnie Fieg, the renowned footwear designer, has once again partnered with ASICS to bring us two remarkable sneakers: the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 and the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1. These shoes are not just updates; they are a testament to the ongoing collaboration that fuses style and performance.
The Ronnie Fieg for ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 is a stunning blend of the GEL-KAYANO 12 upper and the GEL-NIMBUS 17 sole. This model features a lightweight mesh upper with the classic ASICS stripes in TPU material for the first time. The sneaker features seasonal colors from the Kith palette, adding a touch of modernity to the classic design. Special design elements are visible on the tongues, with the left shoe featuring Japanese Kanji that translates to ‘Kayano’, paying homage to the iconic designer. The right shoe translates to ‘Friend’, reflecting Kith’s ‘Kith and Kin’ slogan, which means ‘friends and family’. The model comes complete with Ronnie Fieg for ASICS co-branded packaging, making it a must-have for any sneaker enthusiast.
For the first time, Ronnie Fieg has reimagined the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 silhouette. Developed alongside and inspired by the 2008 GEL-KAYANO 14, the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is the more design-forward runner. The midsole’s dual-layer EVA foam, GEL® technology inserts and TRUSSTIC® system provide advanced cushioning and support. The Ronnie Fieg for GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 updates the signature ASICS silhouette with Kith exclusive colors and Kith branding on the heel and sockliner. This model also comes complete with Ronnie Fieg for ASICS co-branded packaging to make it stand out from other sneakers.
