Above The Clouds x ASICS GT-2160™ collaboration is set to launch this Friday, August 23. This release will feature two new colourways: classic black and crisp white, marking a shift from the vibrant and dynamic hues of the initial releases.
The previous iterations drew inspiration from the rich tapestry of Japanese nature and urban landscapes, showcasing bold and vibrant colourways. In contrast, this final release embraces a minimalist aesthetic with a focus on refined colour palettes. The design shifts towards the use of experimental materials, pushing the boundaries of sneaker innovation while maintaining a sleek, sophisticated appearance.
Here are the previous iterations:

Building on the foundation of its predecessors, this iteration of the GT-2160™ will continue to showcase its distinctive features. It retains the signature transparent upper, enhanced by striking chromatic tiger stripes. Tonal mesh panelling and matching laces complement the overall design, maintaining a cohesive and elegant look.
True to its heritage, the Above The Clouds x ASICS GT-2160™ sneaker preserves its iconic design elements. This includes the traditional wavy forefoot sculpting that has become synonymous with the model, as well as the renowned GEL technology that provides advanced cushioning and support underfoot.
The final iteration of the Above The Clouds x ASICS GT-2160™ sneakers will be available exclusively at Above the Clouds this Friday, August 23, with a retail price of $240 AUD.
For those outside of the initial release, the sneakers will become globally accessible starting August 30. They will be available on ASICS.com and through select retailers, including Up There, Laced, USG Store, Highs and Lows, Finesse, Incu and JD Sports.
This final release not only highlights the culmination of a highly sought-after collaboration but also sets a new standard in sneaker design with its blend of classic elements and innovative materials.
