Kiko Kostadinov and ASICS have been frequent collaborators since 2018, although it was in late 2020 when their partnership reached new heights with the launch of the Curation Fashions by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS program. This program has produced a mess of stellar footwear fashions, such because the UB5-S GEL-NIMBUS 9 and the HN2-S PROTOBLAST. Nonetheless going robust in 2025, the partnership has now birthed one other retro-futuristic footwear design, the UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14.
In line with the shoe’s official description, the UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 “attracts design inspiration from the concepts of découpage and pure simulacrum.” Probably not certain what any of the means, although the kicks do look sick! They arrive in 4 completely different colorways, every that includes a mixture of brilliant colours and matte hues to “spotlight the connection between nature and humanity.” The overlays are supposed to be “symbolic of fossils and petrology,” whereas the moiré surfaces “replicate the surfaces of ready-made on a regular basis objects.”
The ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 by Kiko Kostadinov Studio is now accessible on the ASICS web site and at choose retailers. Try all 4 launch colorways under.
