Australia’s Up There store and Japan’s ASICS sportswear are collaborating on a floral-inspired ASICS GT-II set to arrive at ASICS.com for $160.
The ASICS GT-II’s predominantly greyscale finish is offset by the images of Japanese Chrysanthemum and Pink Heath flowers at the lateral heel and via the mesh base.
The midsoles’ underfoot with a slightly-yellowed finish injects vintage sensibilities into the shoe, while the tread has a spring-friendly rose tone.
Up There and ASICS sportswear has been transpacific partners for a decade.
