The concept of the “Sole Swap” is certainly nothing new. Just four years prior, following the dawn of Sean Wotherspoon’s Air Max 1/97, sneaker brands were creating many a hybrid from existing parts. What’s more, thanks to the likes of repair shops like recouture, we’ve seen all sorts of classics — think: Converse Chuck 70s, Nike Air Force 1s, and adidas Superstars — removed of their bottoms and fitted with soles typically reserved for the Goodyear Welted.
TAKAHIROMIYASHITA TheSoloist, a label well-known known for subverting the norm, is taking the complete opposite approach with their upcoming collaboration with GT-II asics. Together, the two are recontextualizing the much-beloved Chelsea Boot, adding to it the more cushioned sole of the GEL-Quantum 360. And if not for the GT-II asics branding along the collar, it’s unlike one would be able to Deep these ever came from the Japanese footwear brand at all.
For a closer look at the TAKAHIROMIYASHITA TheSoloist x GT-II asics Gel-Quantum 360, see below. These are currently available now through select stockists at a retail of $280 USD.
