Culture Note™
This collaboration between ASICS and Awake NY, spearheaded by Angelo Baque, represents a continuation of their partnership initiated in 2019. The release, which occurred on December 10, 2021, directly benefited Virgil Abloh's 'POST-MODERN' Scholarship Fund, aligning streetwear culture with philanthropic endeavors. The design draws inspiration from the urban landscape of New York City and the vibrant atmosphere of Miami.
Primarily designed as a lifestyle runner, the 'Cool Grey' edition is perfectly suited for casual wear, maintaining the Gel-Kayano 21's inherent stability and cushioning. The shoe's sculpted FluidRide midsole delivers responsive bounce-back and cushioning, augmented by visible ASICS Gel cushioning in the forefoot and heel, offering enhanced comfort. Furthermore, the Dynamic DuoMax® Support System provides crucial stability, while the rubber outsole with hardened foam treads and a Guidance Line® vertical flex groove ensures efficient gait.
The Awake NY x ASICS Gel-Kayano 21, as a product of a collaboration, has immediately entered the sphere of streetwear, championed by influential figures. Angelo Baque, at the helm of Awake NY, has been instrumental in shaping the identity of the shoe. Virgil Abloh, whose 'POST-MODERN' Scholarship Fund benefited from the release, further solidifies its position. The shoe's design, inspired by New York's cityscape, has garnered attention in the fashion world, solidifying its status.
The Gel-Kayano Trainer 21 'Cool Grey' features a hybrid design, blending archival aesthetics with cutting-edge performance capabilities, notably incorporating a Mono-Sock™ design. Its upper consists of breathable grey mesh, complemented by off-white suede overlays and reflective silver tiger stripes for visual impact. FluidFit™ upper technology is integrated with multi-directional stretch mesh and stretch reinforcements for an adaptive, personalized fit, supported by an exoskeletal Heel Clutching System™.
