Last year proved to be another hyper-successful trip around the sun for ASICS, with dozens of releases topping the sneaker charts. Of course, the GEL-Kayano 14 remained as fresh as ever, with inline colourways pleasing many, as well as the JJJJound collaboration absolutely taking over for a hot minute. Speaking of colabs: on that front, ASICS had a very wild year, bringing everything into fruition from a Hysteric Glamour x Kiko Kostadinov linkup on the GEL-Quantum Lylias to GEL-1090V2s with Freja Wewer and more!

Starting 2023 with a bang, ASICS have once again hooked up with Brain Dead to deliver their latest co-created pairs, this time using the GEL-Nimbus 9 as their canvas. Since its big bringback in 2022, the archival model has been seen in both colourful and more low-key makeups, but this is inarguably one of the boldest yet! This iteration features mint, red and yellow uppers, and underneath you’ll find even more colour with olive and hot pink outsoles. Double branding can be found on the tongues.
