Australian fashion boutique Highs and Lows introduces a new collaboration under its legacy HAL STUDIOS with ASICS on a new GEL-1130 sneaker model. The shoes are designed with a focus on the concept of maximal minimalism for a retro-futuristic theme.
The sneakers are entirely detailed with an earthy tonal palette with light gray at the base foundation in a breathable mesh material and overlapping panels on top in suede for a soft feel. Brown suede continues and covers the toe bumper as well as the ASICS-branded mid-panel area. A cream hue makes its way to the front-quarter support and vamp tabs in smooth leather material. Gray suede covers the top eyelets and navy details the tongue and back.
