Minimal Hybrid Chelsea Boots

ASICS & TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist Presents the Chelsea Sneaker Boot

— April 23, 2024 — Fashion
ASICS works in collaboration with Takahiro Miyashita's TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist brand to present the Chelsea Sneaker Boot for the season. The shoes have a stealthy design language and a comfortable build, rooted in a design theme that aligns with both contributing efforts. TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist is known for its rock and roll aesthetic and the traditional Chelsea boot silhouette was a go-to, turning it into a sneaker.

At a quick glance, the shoes look like any leather boot but at closer inspection, the sole is backed by ASICS' GEl-QUANTUM 360 VII technology, which is the same as the technology that supports the traditional GEL-QUANTUM SNEAKER with the "Scutoid GEL in the midsole and FF Blast cushioning in the heel for shock absorption."
