ASICS and Perth-based fashion label HAL Studios has launched a new iteration of its GEL-1130 MK II ‘Forest’ shoe. It will be sold from today via HAL Studios’ website, with the global launch going live on the ASICS’ website and at select ASICS retailers worldwide from April 29.
The shoes were originally available in a 48-hour pre-order period in October 2022, with customers receiving their shoes before the release date. ASICS Australia MD Mark Brunton welcomed the continued collaboration with HAL Studios.
“Our Sportstyle team continues to innovate and push the boundaries of the sneaker space, with the shoe’s design paying homage to ASICS Japanese heritage and the classic GEL-1130 running silhouette, whilst celebrating the creative vision of a local brand,” Brunton said.
The shoe features wide open breathable mesh and suede panelling coloured, with shades of green contrasted against brown leather accents and antique white midsoles.
The sneaker was first released in a pop-up in Tokyo on April 15 and 16.
