Streetwear is a trend that will probably be around for at least another decade – or more. After all, designer brands have been constantly pushing the trend and releasing new styles of designer sneakers time and again, with some even collaborating with major streetwear labels and style icons.
Even if you’re not a fan of streetwear, you simply can’t ignore sneakers. A prime example: the launch of not one, but three exciting and highly-coveted collabs by Asics.
Ahead, we give you the inside scoop on these latest outings which are new-in-store.
Following the epic success of its first collaboration back in 2019 on the Gel-DS Trainer OG “Muay Thai”, Asics has teamed up with Carnival again to launch a reinterpretation of its classic silhouette that’s inspired by Thailand’s very own Siamese fighting fish. Available at Limited Edt Vault at 313@somerset, Limited Edt Chambers and limitededt.com.

Next up on the list is none other than Asics’ collaboration with South Korean fashion brand Andersson Bell. If you love the former’s signature Gel-109 that was launched back in 2003, then you’ll be glad to know that this collection sees new colourways of black and silver, glacier gey and silver and white and orange. You will definitely love the mountain hiking shoe inspiration, and the striking, bold details that will instantly elevate any look.
