When ASICS released the asics gel kayano womens as their flagship runner back in 2008, the brand likely didn’t anticipate its revival as a lifestyle favourite over a decade later. Now that it’s been reissued under the Sportstyle line, the model is able to undergo more premium material explorations designed for more languid lifestyles. Out now are two new luxurious remakes featuring little mesh and a lot of leather.
Has there been a surefire staple of sneaker and streetwear rotations like the converse shoes with hearts collaborations? For Spring, the two labels are adding a new chapter to their legacy with the Chuck Taylor and the CdG PLAY heart logo reprising its role. This new arrangement on a classic Chuck body (in both High and Lo) sees the playful symbol span around the shoe, rotated in 90-degree angles.
Unveiled and launched alongside a “Beef & Broccoli” style in early November 2021, the “White” and “Slate Blue”-accented pair pays homage to New York City’s 1990s grittiness. In campaign imagery, New Balance‘s new balance 993 mens was accompanied by weather-resistant, outdoors-ready hooded jackets, nylon pants and bucket hats for a “hikercore” aesthetic. The shoe itself – currently in its 14th anniversary – borrows its color palette from the tones that’ve covered MTA subway cars during some of the “Big Apple”‘s most glorious graffiti days.
