Converse and Rick Owens DRKSHDW strengthen their successful partnership with the release of two limited-edition colourways of the TURBOWPN. This drop includes the return of the iconic White-on-White colourway and introduces a fresh Oyster Grey iteration, adding a modern twist to the silhouette.

Marking the third revisit to the TURBOWPN silhouette since its debut in August 2021, this latest release highlights the enduring appeal of the partnership.

atmos x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 ‘Yakoutake’

0

ASICS and atmos have teamed up to drop a special edition of the GEL-KAYANO 14, a sneaker that’s been around for a while but is now making waves in a big way. First released back in 2008, the GEL-KAYANO 14 was originally designed as a high-performance running sneaker that supported runners with its comfort and stability. It quickly became a favourite for anyone who needed reliable footwear for long-distance runs.

But today, with the Y2K fashion trend making a huge comeback, the GEL-KAYANO 14 is getting a second life in the fashion world, thanks to its clean, streamlined design and retro vibes that perfectly fit the current style.

The theme behind this release is inspired by the Yakoutake, a luminescent mushroom known to be one of the brightest glowing mushrooms found in Japan. The design, conceptualized by atmos, takes this natural wonder and brings it to life in the form of the “GLOW IN THE DARK” aesthetic.

This means the sneaker has some seriously cool glowing details. The ASICS stripes, midsole, and outsole all light up, adding an eye-catching feature to the sneaker. The heel counter is designed to look like a flash of light, finished in a rich brown shade that’s meant to mimic the earthy soil where the Yakoutake grows in nature.

But atmos didn’t stop there. They’ve also included a glowing Yakoutake graphic on the sock liner, adding an extra layer of detail and making sure every part of the shoe ties into the theme.

All in all, this sneaker isn’t just about looking good; it’s a tribute to something truly unique in nature, with the glow-in-the-dark elements offering a modern twist on an iconic design. Whether you’re a fan of the GEL-KAYANO series or just into cool, standout sneakers, this special edition is definitely one to check out.

The atmos x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 ‘Yakoutake’ will be launching on December 14 at ASICS.com. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter, so you can stay up to date! For other ASICS features, click HERE and for sneaker features, click HERE.

UNAFFECTED x ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 20

0

The UNAFFECTED x ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 20 sneaker is all about rethinking what a shoe should do—support your feet while keeping you comfortable. This updated design uses a mix of translucent fabrics, breathable mesh, and synthetic leather overlays to strike the perfect balance between support and freedom of movement.

Whether you’re heading out for a casual walk or taking on a rugged trail, the added rubber coating acts as a mudguard, giving you extra durability and protection. Plus, the toggled speed lacing system makes slipping them on a breeze and ensures a snug, custom fit every time.

What really stands out with this collection is the way it plays with textures and colours. The contrasting details highlight the structure of this classic running silhouette, while dialling down the overly complex elements you usually find in sports shoes. The result? A sleek, minimal design that feels fresh but stays true to the timeless style of the GEL-KAYANO™.

This collab is the perfect mix of past and present, offering a modern twist on an iconic sneaker. And, of course, it reflects UNAFFECTED’s philosophy of creating “wearable functional wear” with a refined edge.

The UNAFFECTED x ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 20 will be available in three striking colourways: ‘OBSIDIAN GREY/BLACK,’ ‘CREAM/LAKE GREY,’ and ‘DARK CHERRY/BLACK.’ It will release online at ASICS.com on December 13.

If you’re into stylish yet functional sneakers, this one’s definitely worth keeping on your radar. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter, so you can stay up to date! For other ASICS features, click HERE and for sneaker features, click HERE.

Curry Brand Launches the FOX 1

0

Speed defines the game of basketball, and no player embodies that better than Curry Brand athlete De’Aaron Fox. His electrifying pace and boundary-defying play style make him a perfect fit for a sneaker that matches his dynamic energy. After a year of meticulous development, Curry Brand is proud to announce the launch of the Fox 1. A signature sneaker designed for maximum speed and unparalleled on-court performance. It is crafted entirely around Fox’s unique game and personality.

Last October, Fox made history by joining Curry Brand as its first-ever signature athlete, alongside NBA legend and brand president Stephen Curry. Now, Fox is set to become the first player other than Curry himself to have a signature shoe with the brand. The Fox 1 will launch on Friday, December 6th, in the Happy Fox Day colorway. A bold combination of bright blue, orange, and metallic gold. Inspired by Fox’s love for Christmas and his favorite holiday movie.

“De’Aaron was involved in every step of the process, from initial sketches to wear testing, and even the development of the colorways,” said Curry.

“Creating his first signature shoe has been an exciting journey, especially with De’Aaron’s unique vision guiding it.”

The Fox 1 features a lightweight, runner-inspired silhouette with two-toned mesh, designed to support speed and agility. It also includes a “fox tail” shaped strap across the midfoot for additional lockdown support, and UA’s patented FLOW technology in the sole, known for its superior grip and traction.

“Performance-wise, De’Aaron loved the FloTro technology and made it his own with personal touches that reflect his story,” Curry added.

“The new strap adds a fresh aesthetic, while the Fox 1 continues to build on the FLOW platform’s unmatched traction and stability, with hidden details and Easter eggs that fans will appreciate.”

Built for those who aspire to play as fast as Fox. The Fox 1 is breathable, lightweight, and optimised for peak on-court performance. Curry Brand is thrilled to release it just in time for the holiday season, with two more colorways slated for release later in December.

With the Fox 1, Curry Brand is excited to deliver a sneaker that matches De’Aaron Fox’s electrifying pace, and we can’t wait to see fans across the world wear it as they chase their own greatness.

Priced at $200 AUD, the sneaker will be available for purchase at underarmour.com.au and at Under Armour Brand Houses worldwide.

HAL STUDIOS® x ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 20 “BONE”

0

ASICS and HAL STUDIOS® are back at it again, continuing their creative partnership with a fresh take on the GEL-KAYANO™ 20. Originally launched in 2013, this reimagined version combines modern vibes with the iconic stability trainer, giving it a sleek, futuristic twist inspired by the Space Age. Think advanced comfort meets bold, standout design—perfect for your everyday style.

Back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, space exploration wasn’t just about rockets; it inspired a whole wave of cool designs, from smooth lines to innovative materials like moulded plastics and fiberglass. HAL STUDIOS® taps into that same forward-thinking energy to create a shoe that’s as functional as it is eye-catching.

One of the biggest updates? The traditional laces are out, replaced by three hook-and-loop straps for a clean, modern look. This design was inspired by vintage gems discovered at ASICS’ HQ in Kobe, Japan. Add to that breathable wide-open mesh, recycled leather overlays, and those sleek straps, and you’ve got a shoe that’s both futuristic and easy to wear.

While it’s been updated as a lifestyle sneaker, the HAL STUDIOS® x ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 20 hasn’t lost what made it great in the first place. The TRUSSTIC™ support system is still there for stability, and the GEL™ technology in the midsole delivers all-day comfort and shock absorption.

Product Details:
• Re-designed upper with hook and loop strap closures
• Wide-open breathable mesh
• Textured recycled leather overlays
• GEL™ technology cushioning
• TRUSSTIC™ support system
• Moulded EVA sole
• Rubber outsole
• Co-branded synthetic leather innersole
• Translucent frosted ASICS branded dust bag

The big debut happened on November 9th-10th at a pop-up in Hong Kong during Hypefest, giving fans the first chance to check out and cop the HAL STUDIOS® x ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 20 “BONE.” If you missed the pop-up, don’t worry—limited pairs will drop at ASICS, Above the Clouds, Highs and Lows, and Up There on November 28th.
