ASICS GEL Kayano 5-360 – Launching 16th April

Taking cues from contemporary remix culture, ASICS dive head first into the sole swapping trend with the GEL Kayano 5-360 for SS19.

Seamlessly fusing the upper of the iconic GEL Kayano 5 with the sole unit of the technical Quantum 360 running sneaker for a boost of mix and match style, ASICS showcase a penchant for the unexpected.

Imbued with a healthy dose of retro aesthetics, the Japanese sportswear titans look to the future through the lens of the past with this chunky, sporting silhouette. Originally debuting in 1999, the GEL Kayano 5 was a symptom of Y2K, expertly capturing the rave-ready guise of the era. Coupling a contemporary twist of practicality, support and comfort with an instantly recognisable boost of old-school inspirations, ASICS reconstruct the classic model with a retro-futurist sensibility.

Born at the beginning of the internet age, ASICS’ latest invention emulates the all-encompassing reign of internet culture, remixing and reinventing a classic for an authentic and sophisticated take on an athletic sneaker staple.

The ASICS GEL Kayano 5-360 launches online at UrlfreezeShops on 16^th April.
