Famous Los Angeles-based artist collective BRAIN DEAD teases a new upcoming collaboration with Japanese sportswear giant ASICS. After reinterpreting the Trabuco Max silhouette in 2021, Kyle NG and his team are turning their attention to the popular GEL-NIMBUS 9. Named « Rio Red », it has a bold multi-colored look.
Recently revamped by Florence Tetier, the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 9 is one of the most popular models of the moment for everyday use. Its popularity continues to grow day by day. This pair perfectly combines lifestyle with performance and comfort.
The « Rio Red » version of BRAIN DEAD marks the 3rd collaboration between the 2 brands. It is, by far, the most colorful.
This sneaker consists of a red mesh base, enhanced by mint green leather (possibly synthetic) inserts on the sides, with bright yellow toe and heel reinforcements. The Tigers Stripes on the sides are dressed in a combination of light pink and purple, while the inner lining and outsole are presented in fuchsia pink. To affirm the bold look, the pair is also adorned with orange accents on the heel and a military green hue on the GEL technology midsole. A tongue co-branding and dark hiking-inspired laces seamlessly finalize the bold design.
The Brain Dead x Asics GEL-Nimbus 9 « Rio Red » will be released on January 24, 2023, in the BRAIN DEAD shop in Los Angeles and online, at select retailers worldwide and on asics.com. For the latest official details, stay tuned !
