Step Into Action with the Bandit and ASICS NovaBlast 5

Performance powerhouse Bandit have teamed up with for a debut sneaker colab inspired by the work of Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi.

The Bandit x ASICS NovaBlast 5 channels a signature mix of material innovation and sculptural flow. A knitted upper plays with sheer and opaque textures, while translucent no-sew appliqué add layers of depth. Sculptural eyelets, a transparent infographic tag at the laces and a seamless heel detail all nod to the artist's signature blend of boldness and fluidity.

Additionally, the midsole takes inspiration from New York City, featuring rough, stone-like textures at the heel and a speckled pattern that reflects the urban edge and vibrant pace of Bandit's home.

Drawing inspiration from Noguchi’s innovative use of light, translucency, and sculptural forms, the collaboration also includes an apparel drop that features the Vento™ Performance Singlet with laser-cut perforations and a heat-reactive logo that changes colour with temperature alongside a moisture-wicking crop top.

Further offerings arrive in the form of a ripstop jacket and compression-style shorts, all of which are readied in seasonal shades of black, ‘Bandit White' and ‘Petal Red', while accessories like socks and caps round things out.

The full Bandit Running x ASICS collection is available to cop now through the Bandit webstore.
