The Asics Shoes 2020 features an off-white-colored upper with mesh underlays and branded with translucent tiger stripes. The tiger stripes on the mudguard and heel counter are then done up in ASICS blue, while ASICS and GEL-1090 branding appear in the same shade on the lateral sides of the shoe. The tongues bear “Mind” and “Body” wording, as Above The Clouds branding is noted on the heels.
The Asics Shoes Green first collaborative iteration since it re-launched in 2019, this Above The Clouds makeup offers a subtle, sophisticated nod to ASICS’ “Sound Mind, Sound Body” philosophy. White and beige mesh, synthetics and suede are used on the upper, which also intersperses pops of blue on the heel and toe overlays. Special details are provided by translucent Tiger stripes on the midfoot, “Mind” and “Body” labels on the tongues that espouse ASICS’ guiding principle and embroidered Above The Clouds text graphics on the heel. Down below, white midsoles are loaded with clear GEL foam for comfort.
This collaborative version of the Asics Shoes Women has the Sydney, Australia-based retailer Above The Clouds teaming up with Asics to celebrate the retailer’s 10th anniversary. Opting for a subtle and clean motif, the Above The Clouds x Asics Gel-1090 come dressed in a White and Beige upper constructed out of mesh, synthetics and suede. Contrast is made with the help of the Blue hits noted on the heel and toe overlays. The shoe is given a collaborative feel by coming with details such as the translucent Tiger stripes on the midfoot, “Mind” and “Body” labels on the tongues and embroidered Above The Clouds text graphics on the heel. White midsoles surrounding the clear GEL foam round out the main features of the shoe.
The Asics Gel 1090 Birch Putty is the latest collaborative model that the Japanese footwear label and Sydney-based retailer have launched together. The pair chose the updated vintage-inspired silhouette that relaunched in 2019 and have added premium touches and subtle branding throughout for a solid collaborative pair.
