Kiko Kostadinov continues to work closely with ASICS as he creates three colorway options of the UB10-S GEL-KAYANO 20 sneaker model. Arriving in the options of either Moss and Gunmetal, Indigo and Sea Glass, and Plum and Beet Juice. All three tonal variations are set to launch online on May 2nd and are designed with inspiration from cutout crafts and the visual illusions of nature.
The design blends bright tones with a matte coating for contrast to reflect the link between humans and the natural world. It is a construction from the 2013 GEL-KAYANO 20. The model retains the signature lattice structure with refreshing tonal palettes, which have been curated by the team at ASOCS SportStyle and Kiko Kostadinov Studio.
