London-based designer Kiko Kostadinov unveils a look at the highly anticipated ASICS NOVALIS line that was first teased to the public earlier this year. The collection is designed by Kostadinov himself with the help of his womenswear team to result in a genderless range that connected the "mind, body, and sound through everyday performance activities."
The capsule is made up of minimal designs that stay close to the design language of ASICS and its athletic values. Contemporary looks are meant to focus on pushing innovation and function. It kicks off with a series of tees in dusty yellow and purple tones. It is detailed with exposed stitching around the sleeves and chest complete with branding at the center. Other items include matching trousers, bomber jackets, and flared trousers.
