Exciting news in the world of sneakers – Comme des Garçons SHIRT and Asics have teamed up for a new collaboration, the Gel-Terrain Pack. This partnership combines the cutting-edge style of Comme des Garçons with the technical expertise of Asics, resulting in a collection that is both fashion-forward and functional.
The Gel-Terrain silhouette takes center stage in this collaboration, showcasing a perfect balance of design and performance. With a recent collaborative effort by Kiko Kostadinov Studio also focusing on the Gel-Terrain, it’s clear that this sneaker is a standout choice for creative partnerships.
The pack includes two colorways – a crisp White and a sleek Black – both featuring a modern material composition that prioritizes functionality while still maintaining a stylish edge. The sneakers are constructed with a mix of woven meshes, ripstop overlays for durability, and TPU reinforcements for structural support. This technical foundation is complemented by a neutral color palette that is a signature of Comme des Garçons’ collaborative projects.
Branding is subtle yet effective, with Asics’ iconic stripes on the midfoot and co-branded details on the tongue and insole celebrating the collaboration. The sneakers also feature a convenient speed-lace system for easy wearability. The Gel-cushioned midsole provides comfort and support, while the rubber outsole ensures grip and stability, making these shoes suitable for both the trails and the streets.
The Comme des Garçons SHIRT x Asics Gel-Terrain Pack is set to release in March 2024 at select retailers online and in-store. The retail price has yet to be confirmed, so stay tuned for updates.
