Seoul-based design studio Andersson Bell works in collaboration with ASICS on a new iteration of the HN2-S PROTOBLAST silhouette. The duo release three new colorway designs together to continue building upon its previous work together last year and the shared theme of high quality.
The shoes are designed with a web of laces that secure the hiking boot's overall fit. The three tonal palettes include themes that are earthy including one that looks like it's an artifact that emerged in the mud. It's followed by a more city-themed look with a mechanical design language and finally rounded out with a shark-themed makeshift pirate ship for a playful editorial look. Notably, all of the new shoes appear to have neon laces.
