ASICS US8 S GEL SJ33 x Kiko Kostadinov “Moonrock/Tatami Green” and “Deep Plum/Fresh Grass” Design
The “Moonrock/Tatami Green” pair uses a taupe to grey mesh base. Teal, mint and light green lines cross the upper in a dense, woven pattern. Green sections mark the toe, sockliner and segmented sole. Reports describe the ASICS Stripes on the lateral side as pale blue in one case and yellow in another. “Deep Plum/Fresh Grass” runs darker, with an almost violet mesh base, black vertical stripes and purple horizontal lines. Maroon marks the toe and midsole, and bright green branding near the heel contrasts the plum base.
The hybrid build carries over. A seamless upper hugs the foot like a second skin, backed by a heel counter and a medial strap for structure. This shoe borrows its underlying construction from the GEL CUMULUS 16, which combines GEL inserts in both the rearfoot and the forefoot with cushioning from FLUIDRIDE and FLYTEFOAM.
How Do the New Pairs Differ From the Summer Releases?
Reports describe the new pairs as brighter than the “Black Coffee” and “Roasted Coffee” editions. They keep the crossing line pattern on the upper.
