ASICS works in collaboration with A.P.C. on a new iteration of the classic Gel-Sonoma sneaker model for the season. It arrives in a sleek black colorway palette. The shoes are made from mesh materials and secured with rounded rubber laces over the forefoot.

Notably, they also have a tie dye tone throughout the rubber lace loops and the textile materials. Additional details include the custom ASICS branding on the leather patch found on the tongue with more co-branding along the rubber lace locks. A printed A.P.C. logo and embroidered ASICS emblem are seen detailing the heel section. The upper is also layered with textile and suede materials and it all sits on top of a rubber midsole.
