Let’s dive into the second collaboration between ASICS and JJJJound. Today, we’re showcasing one of the three ASICS GT-2160 models from their recent release, specifically in the white/black colourway.
Right away, you’ll notice the jersey-like wide mesh uppers, along with carbon fibre-like panelling and strips on the mudguard and heel. Silver synthetic materials make up the ASICS tiger stripes, while unexpected neon yellow hits—on the capsule-like ASICS logo on the tongue and the JJJJound logo on the heel—bring a bold twist to the typically minimal JJJJound branding. The GT-2160 lettering on the heel counter also pops in neon yellow.
As always, ASICS GEL-cushioning tech is featured in the grey pods on the heel, and the TRUSSTIC TPU shank adds torsional support and energy return. Hard rubber podular soles provide durable traction.
Another JJJJound collab, another round of debate—is it sheer minimalism or mastered versatility? This colourway is versatile enough to work with any outfit, standing out at a time when brands are leaning towards colourful runners. The neutral tones with just a hint of neon offer a refreshing change. Sadly, these sold out on release day, as is typical with JJJJound collabs. But good news: resale prices are fairly reasonable if you’re looking to snag a pair.
They do run narrow and true to size, so for wider feet, going half a size up is recommended. Stay tuned for detailed and on-foot shots coming soon!
