Curated style by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle development team. The UB9-S GEL-KAYANO 20 sneaker draws inspiration from the themes of Interlaced Assemblages. Functional Utopias. and Mino Ceramics. Contrasted with grid-like patterns and bold opaque colors. the Functional Utopia-inspired variations apply direct correlations with nature. These glossy primary colorways are offset with metallic structures accentuating the double-layer mesh materialization. The designers also explored Mino ceramics influences (the dominant style of ceramics in Japan) by investigating the contemporary processes of the rust-like qualities that appear in Mino glazes. This process looks to imagery as a vessel with degraded colors that have the ability to stand the test of time.
