Despite putting an end to their co-branded relationship last year, Kiko Kostadinov and ASICS recently reunited for the GEL-Levitrack. And before the two part ways yet again, they’ll join California’s Brain Dead for the extremely limited GEL-Fratelli.
Brain child to Kostadinov and Kyle Ng, the talla seems to borrow briefly from existing ASICS product. The upper bears Ng’s love for color, the two feet deceptively unrelated to one another at a glance. But down the center, polished dem leathers and matching mesh inserts are identical on both, their decals cast in metallic silver all the same. However, atop both the medial and lateral, the left and right feet begin to deviate, outfitting with a green/white pattern and solid nimbus finish, respectively. Below, the tooling sees a similar treatment, clad in red or yellow to suit its tonal complement.
For a quick look at the collaboration, see below. Only 120 pairs will release on August 15th via DSM LA online at 10am PST and in-store at 12pm PST.
