Danish designer Cecile Bahnsen continues to grow her partnership with ASICS as she updates the Gel Terrain sneaker model for the season ahead. The silhouette is rooted in its trail running capabilities and has a no-sew upper defined by technical fabric materials.
It appears to be utilitarian usually but the new design iteration by Bahnsen takes it to a new angle. It comes in a brown colorway option or black colorway, offering versatile and neutral palettes. The silhouette is detailed with flower motifs in a three-dimensional application dotted throughout the upper. This is the main design language and it aligns closely with Bahnsen's Fall/Winter 2024 series dubbed the Bite -- this is comprised of trench coats, satin dresses, sweaters, and more.
