Asics UB9-S Gel-Kayano 20 (Crystal Pink / Classic Red)

Part of the Curatorial collection, the Asics UB9-S Gel-Kayano 20 is inspired by the subjects of Interlaced Assemblages, Functional Utopias and Mino Ceramics. Initiated by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and Asics, the Curatorial collection fuses soft textures with the idea of handmade elements found in iconic artworks. Using matte, washed-out color effects, the designers were able to give a new twist to the archaic form and construction of classic runners.

Latticed patterns and powerful, opaque shades form a direct correlation to nature in the variations inspired by Functional Utopia. The shiny primary colors are complemented by metallic accents that highlight the combination of materials with the double-layer mesh. The Asics x Kiko Kostadinov Studio designs also explored the influence of Minoan ceramics on the art of design, adopting the rust-like look that is part of the Mino glaze.
