In their latest collaborative effort, ASICS and nonnative have unveiled a new iteration of the GEL-Terrain sneaker. Building on the momentum of their previous project, the X GEL-YETITOKYO, the duo introduces a design tailored not only for the rugged demands of trail running but also for everyday urban wear, thereby expanding its appeal to a more diverse consumer base.
The newly designed nonnative x ASICS GEL-Terrain melds durability with urban aesthetics, making it suitable for both wilderness trails and metropolitan environments. It features a GORE-TEX mesh upper for outstanding moisture management, ensuring that the wearer’s feet remain dry under wet conditions. The shoe is aesthetically enhanced with rich brown suede leather overlays and tastefully accented with subtle shades of black and metallic grey, striking a perfect balance between functionality and fashion.
The midsole is engineered with ASICS’ advanced FLYTEFOAM™ and GEL™ technology, which contribute to the shoe’s lightweight profile and exceptional shock absorption properties. This combination not only elevates comfort but also enhances the responsiveness of each step, whether navigating rocky paths or navigating the urban jungle. The emphasis of this collaboration remains on delivering a high-performance shoe that also fits seamlessly into the lifestyle segment.
Set to hit the market on October 19, 2024, the nonnative x ASICS GEL-Terrain will be available for purchase at several prestigious locations. Consumers can access this stylish, versatile footwear through the official online stores of both brands, as well as in-person at the ASICS Flagship stores in Harajuku and Osaka’s Shinsaibashi. Further availability includes COVERCHORD’s physical and online outlets in Nakameguro and Fukuoka, as well as KITH Tokyo.
With its sophisticated blend of performance attributes and sleek design, the nonnative x ASICS GEL-Terrain is poised to capture the attention of both dedicated sneaker aficionados and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
