All good things must come to an end and unfortunately, that time has come for the Asics x Vivienne Westwood partnership. But never you mind, the two brands have saved the best till last. This time Asics’ Gel-Kayano 27 DE sneaker has gone under the knife and been stripped back to basics, decoding the raw construction of the shoe.
Andreas Kronthaler took this opportunity to celebrate the craftwork behind the design and the specialised framework of the shoe rather than reinvent it. Working closely with Asics through the process, Kronthaler ended up in two colourways purposefully contrasted in monochrome and earth tones with vibrant underlays – which can be beautifully matched with Westwood designs. This is your last chance to grab yourself an exclusive Westwood x Asics shoe, don’t leave yourself filled with regret!
The Asics x Vivienne Westwood Gel-Kayano 27 DE sneakers are available May 1 online and in select stores.
