Kiko Kostadinov and Asics have evolved their partnership this year, with the Bulgarian designer taking over as the creative director for the Novalis line. This week, we have an early look at a “Knicks” colorway of the GEL-Quantum Zientzia, coming soon.
The Asics Novalis line is the brand’s latest foray into high-concept, all new models. The line is led by creative director Kiko Kostadinov, who started off as an Asics collaborator before taking on more prominent roles within the Japanese footwear brand. Over the last year, Kostadinov has introduced some wild new silhouettes to Asics’ catalog, as well as reinterpreting some of their signature models. This week, new colors for the GEL-Quantum Zientzia have emerged, bringing back the adapted version of the standard Quantum style. The Zientzia mixed mesh and synthetic panels for its upper, with a distinct line running from the heels to the midfoot to split the silhouette. One of the new styles comes in a “Knicks” color palette, adding blue and orange accents over a white base.
