ASICS Levels Up the Luxe with New 'Japan Collection'

have unveiled another luxurious collection featuring the performance-geared GEL-Kayano 25, Metarun SPS, and GEL-Kinsei silhouettes.

We’re used to seeing these sleek runners on the pavement and the track, but a swag of opulent upgrades makes the ‘Japan Collection’ street ready. The GEL-Kayano 25 and GEL-Kinsei make use of dark Kobe leather up top, with the renowned GEL cushioning down below. Meanwhile, the Metarun SPS uses a lighter-hued leather, which is hand-tanned in Himeji (a city famous for its fine leather).

All three pairs are available now via ASICS Japan, but you can also look forward to the collection expanding over the next few months.
