Tactical Waterproof Utilitarian Boots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

nonnative & ASICS Design the Durable GEL-Yeti Tokyo HI G TX

— December 5, 2018 — Fashion
The original GEL-Yeti footwear model was originally released back in 2000 by ASICS and it returns in a new iteration alongside nonnative -- the latest GEL-Yeti 'Tokyo HI G TX' boots take on a desert theme. The footwear model is prepared for all purposes and complete in militaristic design cues throughout the entire silhouette. Some militaristic cues are translated through the sandy tonal finish, the thick hefty soles, and the tactically informed lacing system.

Notably, the new Tokyo HI G TX boots boast waterproof elements with the sturdy GORE-TEX construction over the uppers. ASICS and nonnative's collaborative GEL-Yeti Tokyo HI G TX boots are set to launch on December 8th online at nonnative, Billy's and COVERCHORD.
