ASICS and Nanushka Launch the GEL-KINETIC FLUENT

— March 22, 2025 — Fashion
Designer brand Nanushka launches the new GEL-KINETIC FLUENT sneaker model with ASICS which is defined by a subtle mix of crafty details. It is paired with technical features and a playful blend of contrasting elements. The collaborative sneaker is inspired by a natural palette.

It features two versatile colorways: it kicks off with a tan version with black and silver details and a black version with white stitching and amber heel cushions. The model is tweaked to feature a neoprene liner sock as well which pushes a retro Nanushka tag at the tongue section. To enhance the technical feel, it has a hybrid bungee lacing system rather than the standard laces over the forefoot to keep it secure.
