The Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS UB7-S GT-2160 sneaker pack is a stunning blend of conceptual design and functional aesthetics, drawing inspiration from themes as diverse as interlaced assemblage, functional utopia and Mino ware. This curated selection of styles is the result of a collaboration between Kiko Kostadinov Studio and the ASICS SportStyle development team, showcasing the intersection of art, craftsmanship and athletic performance.
At the heart of this sneaker pack is an exploration of soft textures and handcrafted elements reminiscent of iconic artworks. The design team expertly employs matte and washed hues to highlight the archival shapes and construction of traditional running shoes, paying homage to ASICS’ rich history while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.
Inspired by the idea of a functional utopia, the sneaker features a grid pattern and bold opaque colors that directly relate to nature. Shiny primary colors are juxtaposed with a metallic construction that highlights the materialization of the dual-layer mesh, creating a dynamic, visually appealing design that speaks to the forward-thinking ethos of both Kostadinov and ASICS.
Another inspiration is the influence of Mino ware. The designers explored a contemporary process to mimic the rust-like nature found in Mino ware glazes. This meticulous process results in faded colors that evoke a sense of timelessness, allowing the UB7-S GT-2160 to stand the test of time in both style and durability.
