Ronnie Fieg and Asics share a history that goes way back. Before establishing his incredibly cool apparel and footwear boutique Kith, Fieg made his name through sneakers. And it all started with a collaboration with Asics in 2007. Today, with over 50 Asics collaboration pairs to his name, it only seems apt that Ronnie Fieg puts his spin on the brand’s latest sneaker revival. Here’s a look at the upcoming Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Kayano 5 OG collaboration sneaker.
As a profound tastemaker, Ronnie Fieg knows not to take away the Gel Kayano 5 OG’s classic beauty. Fieg uses subtle hits of vibrancy from the color spectrum to spotlight the sneaker’s details on the clean white uppers, which come in a mix of mesh, leather and suede uppers. You’ll find a combination of either red, yellow, blue or mint – or all at once – coloring the outsoles, the Asics logo on the side panels, the ankle collar, insoles, tongue and lace tabs. Co-branding on the ankle panel and insoles make it clear these sneakers are a Ronnie Fieg collaboration. Colorful and easy on the eyes, the Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Kayano 5 OG serves up a worthy addition to your summer rotation.
No official release date is available at the moment. But with summer all but ending, we’re expecting the drop to come very soon. Watch this space for more information.
