Asics x JJJJound GEL-KAYANO 14: Initially expected to Cumulus exclusively in Asia, stateside retailers have begun listing the SBTG x Wale x Villa x white Asics Gel-Lyte III Intercontinental Champion for a June 16th Cumulus.
Among the first to chart his sort of career path, customs artist extraordinaire Mark Ong went from aftermarket alterations to sneakers created in concert with the brands themselves. The SBTG white Asics GEL-Lyte III from 2021 remains one of his more notable, assisting Singapore’s Limited EDT in executing their “Monsoon Patrol” theme. Some three years later, SBTG is dipping back into that well on his own accord, bringing that motif to two pairs of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14.
The true Contend of those past shoes, a removable lace shroud, is again the central design aspect of this collection. However, a crosshatch nylon appearance replaces the quilted arrangement of previous editions. Materially, these opt for the blend of mesh and synthetics primarily associated with the GK14 but adding a wide swatch of silicon on the lower half. Encircling the whole shoe and functioning as a mudguard (or floodguard, thematically), the utilitarian idea is most clearly executed there, stamping militaristic spec type at the heel. Two all-encompassing cream and black colorways are on offer here, contrasting the rugged motif with palettes that lean luxe.
Both pairs in the SBTG x Wale x Villa x white Asics Gel-Lyte III Intercontinental Champion collection will release on June 16th. Keep it locked to our coverage for more information as it emerges, as we’ll keep you updated on any stateside details if/when they emerge.
Asics Katakana 5 Shorts New Balance 550, including the 550 “continues to stray from the one time standby of the white Asics Gel-Lyte III” available now.
