ASICS GEL TRANSCEND FJ x Story mfg. “Trees Are Poems” Design
Both pairs carry plaid, one in Black and one in Dark Brown. The toe box, heel counter, logo, and lace panel all carry a plaid grid pattern, while the remainder of the breathable upper is made from soft mesh. Story mfg. branding sits on the tongue, lateral heel and insoles, above a bulky sole. One account places the branding at the toe box instead.
Beads that can be threaded onto the laces are included with every colorway, letting wearers switch up the look. Story mfg. built the pack with walking in mind and calls it a tribute to rambling.
Who Is Story mfg.?
Story mfg. is a clothing label founded in 2013 by Saeed and Katy Al Rubeyi. It is built around slow fashion, vegan production and traditional craft.
