The collaboration between SHUSHU/TONG and ASICS SportStyle once again fuses two seemingly contrasting worlds — the preppy, romantic charm of lace and ruffles with the athletic precision of high-performance footwear. Far from clashing, this creative tension results in a striking new silhouette that reimagines ASICS’ technical heritagethrough a softer, more conceptual lens.
Built on a 2010s-inspired running model, the design integrates technical welds, sporty eyelets, and modern materialsthat add texture and visual depth. These features are elevated by SHUSHU/TONG’s signature delicate detailing, creating a refreshing break from conventional sportswear narratives.
The shoe’s midsole showcases advanced FF BLAST PLUS cushioning and scutoid GEL technology, ensuring premium comfort and shock absorption without compromising style. Unveiled during Paris Fashion Week, the GEL-KINETIC FLUENT will release on August 23 in two essential colorways, cementing this partnership as one that thrives on contrast and innovation.
