South Korean fashion label ANDERSSON BELL unveils a new part of its partnership with Japanese sportswear leader ASICS. After bringing its touch to the famous PROTOBLAST last May, the brand that mixes Scandinavian inspirations and Korean heritage has redesigned the GEL-SONOMA 15-50.
Especially for this 3rd collaboration, Andersson Bell has imagined and created a fantastic world called « ASICS WORLD ». The 3 versions of the redesigned GEL-SONOMA 15-50 are highlighted through colorful designs that pay tribute to the great outdoors, filled with plants, flowers and animals.
The shoe comes in « Frocto » Green/Black inspired by the mysterious sea monster Froctonel, « Connie Kayodi » Bright Pink/Evergreen/Orange imitating fictional plants and « Fissit-tatoos-fly” »Olive/Brown/Orange matching the mysterious little creatures.
Made from a combination of technical materials, these 3 iterations sport a bold look and feature numerous details that add flair to the ensemble. To accentuate the comfort and assert the « great outdoors » inspiration, the pair benefits from a lacing system reminiscent of hiking boots and a thick technical sole. The collab is subtly affirmed by a black and white « ANDERSSON BELL » tag sewn on the side heel.
The Andersson Bell x ASICS GEL-SONOMA 15-50 trio will launch exclusively on October 29, 2022 at the Andersson Bell store in Seoul on a first-come, first-served basis, before releasing online at partner sites en.anderssonbell.com and asics.co.kr on October 31, 2022. The price is set at $118 (169000 ₩) per pair.
