ROKH & ASICS Sportstyle Unleash Lace-Equipped GEL-1090 & GEL-Kinsei OG
Available in highly-limited quantities.
ASICS Sportstyle has enlisted ROKH for a limited-edition capsule collection of technically-indebted GEL-1090 and GEL-Kinsei OG sneakers.
ROKH is the brainchild of Phoebe Philo protégée Rok Hwang, who fled Céline to form his own brand in 2016. Since, ROKH has gone on to become a finalist in 2018’s LVMH Prize awards, and has also showcased at PFW: Men’s, where his collaboration with ASICS was spotted in January.
The collaboration reworks two of ASICS’ most recently debuted sneakers, the GEL-1090 and GEL-Kinsei OG. Hwang’s updates include a host of new colors such as neon green and neon orange, incorporating this by hand-weaving lace detailing across the entire upper of all six colorways.
All of the pairs feature ASICS’ signature molded EVA sole units, as well as the imprint’s GEL technology. Take a look at the ROKH x ASICS collaboration in the gallery above, and pick up your favorite pair exclusively from Dover Street Market London while stocks last.
