Back in September, contemporary Berlin-based label GmbH released an all-white version of the ASICS GEL-Nandi 360 and now the collaboration between the two brands is followed up by a more chromatic take on the model. The new iteration of the model boasts a soft pink sole and an olive green monochromatic upper, with subtle pink accents to match. The combination of colors is a bit unconventional but that is how GmbH and ASICS draw attention to the silhouette.
As ASICS is, above all else, a trusted sports brand, the ASICS GEL-Nandi 360 are also performance-ready with durable materials, a snug fit, as well as the brand's GEL® technology that guarantees additional shock absorption when running or walking.
