Vivienne Westwood and Asics are continuing their collaborative efforts this month, this time with a bright new colorway of the sleek Gel-DS Trainer. Taking plenty of inspiration from Westwood’s regal style, the new look launches globally later this week.
Great Britain’s Vivienne Westwood has long been a high-profile figure in the fashion world, influencing just about every corner of the industry with her unique and eccentric style. This year, the London-based designer debuted a new collaborative project with Asics Tiger, the lifestyle division of the Japanese running brand that’s been a piece of sneaker history since the very beginning. The first project saw Vivienne recoloring the Gel-Saga with a Renaissance art-inspired look. The latest project follows a similar theme, this time taking inspiration from paintings by François Boucher. The Gel-DS Trainer features the painter’s work Daphnis & Chloe, while the outside of the shoe features accents in green, blue, yellow, and red across a black upper with reflective silver finishing off the look.
