ASICS has collaborated with Berlin-based artist and influencer Kicki Yang Zhang to bring a new twist to the GEL-NYC silhouette. This release features two distinct colorways that embody the concept of “Yin and Yang.” One version comes in a sleek black, while the other pairs soft hues of pink, white, and cream. These contrasting designs are brought to life with glossy patent leather overlays and reflective metallic silver accents, creating a perfect balance between boldness and subtlety.
The highlight of the pink version lies in its patent leather mudguard and glittery midsole, reflecting Zhang’s connection to beauty and fashion. On the other hand, the black pair maintains a minimalist aesthetic while keeping the glossy elements and silver details intact. Both pairs incorporate GEL cushioning, ensuring that the shoes are not only stylish but functional.
Zhang, known for her multidisciplinary work, played a significant role in promoting the collection. She modeled the sneakers in a trampoline shoot that lasted eight hours, showcasing her creative range. This collaboration emphasizes her ability to blend art, beauty, and athletic fashion seamlessly.
