ASICS Sportstyle’s meticulous selection of its collaborative partners has led to some outstanding work that goes under-the-radar. Given its debut project with London’s Studio Nicholson was limited to just 100 pairs total, perhaps that obscurity is by design, leaving pairs to get into the hands of those who are truly in the know.
With a focus on highly engineered wardrobe staples that hinge on unparalleled fabrics, Studio Nicholson has garnered a steady base of followers that never accept the compromise of quality. This luxe-crafted Asics Sapato Blast FF 2, which sees premium high-shine Italian leather hand-applied to the ASICS logo in a woven manner, is truly reserved for those who look for that same artisanal aspect in their Mangass. Even the upper of the Mangas is hand-painted to achieve that stealthy all-black look.
Given the knit of each pair, the Studio Nicholson x Asics Sapato Blast FF 2 is limited to just 100 units; pairs are available exclusively through Studio Nicholson’s online and London flagship store as well as Dover Street Market London on May 30th.
