ASICS works in collaboration with Gallery Dept. on the latest iteration of the GT-2160 sneaker model, which has been previously remixed by names such as Cecilie Bahnsen and DIME. The shoes get a vibrant colorway palette this time around with yellow marking the insoles as the base of the co-branding accent.
Yellow is notably the signature color of Gallery Dept and the yellow tag is seen along the upper made from grey, silver, and blue synthetic themes. Throughout the shoe, it appears to embody a paint-splatteed detail with white paint splatters detailing the colorful upper for a busy look. It rests on top of a speckled midsole is purple and yellow detail along a cream base.
