Kiko Kostadinov x Asics GEL-Kiril 2

Over the past three years, London-based Bulgarian fashion designer Kiko Kostadinov and Japanese brand Asics have presented us with five collaborative pairs with sophisticated and innovative designs (articles available on this site). From this mix of worlds, fashion for Kostadinov and performance for Asics, the GEL-Kiril silhouette was born. To conclude this partnership, this shoe was re-imagined in correlation with Kostadinov’s Autumn 2020 ready-to-wear collection. The sixth and last opus of this collaboration is presented to us today and is called GEL-Kiril 2.

The revisited pair adopts a very different construction from the previous model.

These sneakers with an aerodynamic design are available in 3 colorways : coral red, black and steel grey.

The base is made of two layers of mesh in two shades of the same color for maximum comfort. Elements present on the GEL-Kiril have disappeared, such as the checkerboard pattern on the vamp and the support of the foot by traditional laces. This new version is adorned with a tongue benefiting from a velcro strap under which an elastic lacing system is found, providing optimal support. The emblematic tiger stripes are stretched along the entire side of the shoe, accentuating the aerodynamic style of the pair. As for the circular Asics logo, it appears discreetly on the top of the tongue. A leather reinforcement on the toe and a rubber outsole on the front of the shoe’s toe complete the look. The whole is based on a reworked FlyteFoamTM sole to combine lightweight and high-end cushioning with a stylish design.

The Kiko Kostadinov x Asics GEL-Kiril 2 will be available in the fall of 2020 at selected retailers. More info coming soon, stay tuned !
