KENGO KUMA X ASICS

Posted on 2024-03-25

Following several releases in 2019 and 2021, the latest Kuma x ASICS sneaker transforms the ASICS Archisite ORU silhouette using a delicate Japanese paper-like material that encases the label’s Dyneema upper. “After tucking in the outer skin and taking a walk around your destination,” says Kuma, “you can unfold the outer skin and relax inside the hotel…this is the kind of shoe that changes its outer skin to suit the various life situations required by a new lifestyle.​”

The sneaker is sustainably built using ASICS’ FUJI LITE™ 2 sole and FF BLAST midsole, resulting in a lightweight comfortable fit.
