The Next HAL STUDIOS x ASICS Colab Is On the Way

Last year’s HAL STUDIOS x ASICS GEL-1130 collaborations were some of our top pairs of 2023, but this year the duo is getting more experimental. The Aussie-based label’s creative director John Bouquet recently took to the ‘Gram to show off what could be in store for 2024, and it looks like the next link-up could be going laceless.

Sharing an image of his ‘2024 prototypes’, we can see that clean colours and earth-toned accents are still very much on the menu. Working on top of what appears to be a new (or perhaps a reimagined) silhouette, the shoe forgoes a lacing system in favour of three velcro straps. As expected, a GEL cushioned midsole sits underneath. Three colourways are present in the snap: there's a black and white one, a grey pair with brown and orange detailing, and (if you peek closely) an all-black pair underneath.

Even though they may only be prototypes, we can’t help but get excited as we see more and more of what ASICS have in store for us this year. If you’re keen to see more, be sure to keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for all the latest updates as they come in.
