ASICS x Sneaker Politics Oysters Pack: GEL Kayano 12.1 “Shell” and GEL Cumulus 16 “Pearl” Design
Louisiana’s Sneaker Politics built this ASICS pack around oysters as part of its 20th anniversary year. The two shoes look nothing alike, because one borrows from the outside of the shell and the other from the inside.
The GEL Kayano 12.1 “Shell” comes in Phantom/Acai. The shoe mixes mesh with an open weave, TPU with a pearlescent sheen, and patent overlays. The midsole has a worn finish that makes it look like a weathered shell, and the laces feature pearl dubrés.
The GEL Cumulus 16 “Pearl” comes in Cream/Mist, with shades of blue and purple running over the upper. Over the mesh, overlays of patent material and pearlescent TPU give a glossy finish that changes as the light moves. The laces match the Kayano with the same pearl dubrés.
How Does the Oysters Pack Release?
Sneaker Politics is running EQL raffles for the pack. Entries go through the Sneaker Politics site, and raffles were open as of November 13.
