The famous Bulgarian designer Kiko Kostadinov and his creative studio continues to rework iconic sneakers of the Japanese brand ASICS. After silhouettes like the UB1-GEL-Kayano 14, FN1-S GEL-Nimbus 22 or HSI-S GEL-Venture 7 (articles available on this site), the Creative Director of the Asics SportStyle division unveils a UBS-S GEL-1130
This sneaker is offered in 5 eye-catching colorways, 3 for men (sizes Eu40- Eu48) : « Lamb Wool/Pure Silver », « Asphalt/Pure Silver », « Deep Mars/Graphite Grey » and 2 for women (sizes EU36-EU44) : « Wasabi/Aquatic », « Metropolis/Lichen Rock ».
It pays tribute to the 9th iteration of the Asics GEL-1000 series, which was released as a stability running shoe in 2008. Reworked for everyday use but with a certain lifestyle appeal, it still retains the key components inspired by the GEL-Kayano 14. In terms of new features, the upper has been updated with materials taken from the GEL-TRAIL ATTACK 7. The whole is based on a midsole that can be tonal or contrasting depending on the colorway and features a GUIDANCE LINE stability unit. The shoe is also equipped with the legendary GEL cushioning.
The 5 exclusive colorways of the UBS-S GEL-1130 will be released on July 23, 2021, priced at 110€ each, at selected retailers like 5PM / ACTE 2 / Corner Street / Galeries Lafayette champs-Elysees / le Rayon Frais / Le Labo / Jogging / Milk / Novoid Plus / Place des tendances / Novoid Plus / Fenom / Shoez Gallery / Slash / SNS Paris / Starcow / Summer / The Graduate Store / The N ext Door / United Legend.
