Shock-Absorbing GEL Sneakers

Harmony and ASICS Introduces the Comfortable GEL-Venture Sneakers

— September 13, 2018 — Fashion
Harmony works in collaboration with ASICS on a three-part set of footwear options that are inspired by outdoorsy sports -- the first part of the drop features two options of the GEL-Venture sneaker. The shoe is set to launch early October this year and sees two colorway options -- either grey with white accents and lime green lacing systems or a navy blue with white accents and lime green lacing systems. The collection is comprised of the accumulated work that merges together two different spaces of the labels that complement each other well.

The GEL-Venture sneakers' highlighting element is its shock absorbing cushioning system infused into the soles to give it a functional bounce-back. Its outsole is a full piece design that is ready to combat different terrains along with cleats in multi-directional forms that give the model durable elements and additional traction. The midsole also boasts an update that is focused on giving it more stable elements. The first drop is set to hit Harmony's online and flagship location on October 3.
