ASICS launches two new colorway palettes to join its roster in the form of its signature GEL-SONOMA 15-50 sneaker model. The first iteration is marked with a small touch of gold that can be seen in the form of branding around the tongue sections.
It is made from mesh materials at the underlying details and buttery suede overlaying on top. The laces, interior lining, and cages are detailed in a wolf grey color. The second iteration is also made from mesh materials at the base, the throat, and interior lining, but boasts a darker look with black accents as the foundation. It is then detailed with beige at the toe tip overlays, the cages, and the branding ASICS stripes.
