ASICS unveils a look at the relaunch of the Skyhand shoes for this year. This comeback is one of many by the brand as the shoe has already been remixed by Danish design imprint HAY on a pack of pastel tonal iterations. ASICS launches the Skyhand shoes in two refreshing colorway options: Midnight Plum and Cilantro Green.
The shoes will be set to launch online at ASICS and other retailers. It is set to launch officially on July 3rd, bringing a touch of nostalgia through the comfortable design fused with modern elements. The low-rise silhouette maintains the handball silhouette but also has performance details to be able to skate it. This includes the rubber sole unit and other technology meant to enhance comfort.
