Merging the versatility of a warm-weather sandal, with the comfort and design of a classic lifestyle sneaker, ASICS has unveiled its GEL-BONDAL sandals.

Perhaps one of its best-known innovations, the ASICS Gel technology was first released in 1986. Made up of a gel-like substance planted in the center of the midsole, it’s designed to absorb impact, forcing an all round smoother and more comfortable feel.

For Spring/Summer 2020, ASICS has turned to its gel technology for the GEL-BONDAL, a sandal set on a chunky midsole design, with nylon straps on the upper and a buckled fastener for extra stability.

Incorporating the same tooling from its retro inspired GEL-BONDI sneaker, the GEL-BONDAL comes in four colorways; “Black/Cream”, “Metropolis/Cream”, “Mako Blue/Metropolis” and an all over black.

The GEL-BONDAL sandals are available now from the ASICS web store, retailing at $65 USD.
