ASICS works in collaboration with iconic retailer HAVEN on a new iteration of the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 sneaker model for the season. It launches tomorrow at HAVEN for the price of $170 USD and to celebrate the collaboration, HAVEN is hosting a special pop-up in New York City to feature the product along with the full HAVEN collection and exclusive products.
It is ongoing now and will be on until February 10th with a global launch of the shoe on February 14th. The capsule is detailed with technical fabric materials as there is the GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER fabric seen in the jacket, pants, and hats -- all of these are detailed in a stealthy color palette of black and grey finishes.
