Culture Note™
The genesis of the Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS collaboration lies in a fusion of high fashion and athletic performance. The partnership aimed to elevate ASICS' profile within the fashion industry, drawing on Kostadinov's avant-garde design principles. The original Gel-Kayano 20, a crucial model released around 2013/2014, set the foundation for this collaboration, celebrating support and durability. Kiko Kostadinov's influence marked a pivotal moment, becoming the first external designer to develop a proprietary sole unit for ASICS, the GEL-Kiril.
Primarily designed for casual wear, the UB9-S Gel-Kayano 20 blurs the lines between athletic performance and high fashion. The original Gel-Kayano 20 was conceived for long-distance running, and this iteration retains elements of that heritage. Key features include dual GEL® technology inserts in the rearfoot and forefoot, which ensure superior impact absorption and cushioning. The use of a foam midsole and FluidRide™ technology further enhances the shoe's comfort and responsiveness, making it suitable for both the track and the runway.
The Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS collaboration has significantly impacted the fashion and footwear landscape. Kiko Kostadinov himself, known for his avant-garde aesthetic, has become a pivotal figure in this evolution. The collaboration has also attracted considerable attention from the fashion and streetwear communities, establishing a strong presence within these spheres. The fusion of high fashion and sportswear has redefined the boundaries of both, solidifying the UB9-S Gel-Kayano 20's status as a coveted item.
The UB9-S Gel-Kayano 20 features a double-layer mesh upper with synthetic overlays, accented by metallic structures. It incorporates a FLUIDFIT™ cage, enhanced with criss-cross TPU applications to provide enhanced support and translucent webbing. The design includes signature elements such as asymmetrical pull-tabs, a detail bearing Kiko Kostadinov's signature touch, Gel-Kayano branding on the heel, and the iconic ASICS Tiger Stripes. The shoe's construction is a testament to the seamless integration of form and function.
