Kiko Kostadinov and ASICS Say Slip Ons and Gorp Are Back
With the release of their second “ASICS NOVALIS” collection.
From the resurgence of Adidas Taekwondos and Onitsuka Tiger‘s Mexico 66 to Margiela Tabi leather slip-ons, it’s clear — slip-ons are having a major moment. Now, ASICS is solidifying the trend with its latest collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov.
The “ASICS NOVALIS” is back for a second round and it’s safe to say that Kiko Kostadinov’s influence is undeniable. The star of the collection, the “Gel-Styraxtm” shoes, takes the beloved “Gel” sneaker and transforms it into a sleek, slip-on design. With its signature track-inspired silhouette and electric color combinations of blue and grey, bold black and green and a striking maroon red, these shoes definitely make a statement. The Kiko Kostadinov emblem on the side is a stamp of approval, symbolizing the perfect fusion of Kiko Kostadinov’s avant-garde style and ASICS’ athletic roots.
But it’s not just about the shoes, the collection also features a range of ready-to-wear pieces, including skirts, sweaters, shorts, trousers and shirts, all mirroring the same vibrant color palette as the footwear. The capsule has a distinctly gorp-y vibe, with standout pieces like a zip-down wrap skirt, which is daringly modeled over trousers in the campaign. Whether you’re into layering up or rocking the skirt solo, the “ASICS NOVALIS” collection offers something for everyone, blending fashion-forward design with everyday functionality.
The “Novalis” collection is available for purchase at Kiko Kostadinov stores and ASICS SportStyle’ online store.
