ASICS Joins ballaholics on a New Collection of Sporty Designs

— August 24, 2022 — Lifestyle
Japanese streetwear imprint ballaholics work in collaboration with ASICS on a new collection of apparel that is inspired by basketball. Some of the notable items in the range include the iconic ASICS GEL-1130 sneaker model that is made with a mismatching colorway.

The sneakers are made from a blend of light grey and beige throughout the upper with an asymmetrical look overall. The lateral side of the heels is different on each foot -- the left shoe is detailed with green suede whereas the right sneaker is adorned with blue suede. Both of these are detailed with co-branding details that nod to both contributing efforts. The rest of the range includes basketball jerseys, socks, tees, and shorts.
