If you’re in Australia and looking to cop the new ASICS x Hidden NY collaboration, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the highly anticipated ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 14 “Dawn” in White/Blarney—a clean, premium colorway inspired by early-morning light. Even better, pairs are still widely available across Australia.
Missed out on the ASICS.com.au raffle? Don’t stress—I’ve got you. Head to Up There Store, Subtype, or other specialised retailers, and you’ll likely still find your size on shelves. That’s pretty wild considering the hype every Hidden NY collab draws.
These run true to size but lean narrow, so wide footers should go half a size up for the best fit. Before we even get into the details, I have to call out the standout accessory: the glow-in-the-dark woven plastic extra laces. They’re unlike anything I’ve seen—and trust me, I’m swapping into them instantly.
Once again, ASICS and Hidden NY deliver top-tier storytelling and execution. The pair arrives in a white box covered in lunar graphics, dual branding, and a slick metallic silver sticker—perfectly setting the tone for what’s inside.
At first glance, the upper looks like standard white mesh, but look closer and you’ll notice a subtle mint tint. The toebox and lateral panels use breathable grid mesh, while the medial heel incorporates durable ripstop mesh. The tongue features engineered mesh topped with a Hidden-green moon-phase pull tab.
Signature details from the GEL-DS Trainer 14 return, including the iconic honeycomb midfoot panel. The left shoe features the Hidden NY logo, while the right pairs it with the ASICS “a” logo, with more Hidden branding on the lateral heel.
The sneakers come with white oval laces, but that’s only the starting point. A reflective 3M lenticular strip flashes the Hidden NY logo at certain angles. Silver TPU overlays wrap the toe guard and side panels, while metallic Hidden-green accents sit beneath and outline the ASICS Tiger Stripe.
Underfoot, you get midsole foam with rearfoot GEL cushioning for comfort and impact absorption. A translucent green TPU Trusstic guidance plate boosts stability, and the honeycomb-pattern rubber outsole delivers reliable grip. More storytelling continues on the insoles—green on the left, white on the right.
Lightweight, thoughtfully engineered, and packed with premium details, this pair is a must-cop for ASICS and Hidden NY fans. Retailing at $260 AUD, they’re available now at the retailers mentioned above.
