Nation has reworked the [ASICS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelsekiran-1) ‘[GEL-1130](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-glo-colorway)’ as a part of a two-piece collection that offers [neutral and neon colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelnyc-5). The new ‘GEL-1130’ uses a mesh eggshell-colored base on both iterations, with the ‘Cream/Paperbag’ colorway adopting a muted, earthy-toned palette and the ‘Cream/Black’ going for a vibrant neon yellow and pink. The ‘Cream/Paperbag’ iteration uses brown, black, and orange hits to contrast the beige construction, while the Cream/Black’ version uses a tan shade on the lateral side panels, neon outsoles, and pink accents on the mudguards, toebox tab, and heels. P.E. Nation comments on the collaboration in a press release: “ASICS are at the forefront of innovation: their decades of design evolution have led to the most technical running shoe in the market. [...] [This collaboration] highlights the synergy between ASICS and P.E, too, in terms of aesthetic approach and sharp focus on sustainability. The end result a 360-package of function, form, and future sensibility.” The P.E. x ASICS ‘GEL-1130’ arrives on July 25 via the P.E. Nation website.
