Update: Following an early preview of the green/yellow/red pair, Brain Dead has officially announced the launch of its ASICS GEL-Nimbus 9 collaboration. Starring an unseen purple and green colorway, the two looks are set to launch in Paris for Fashion Week on January 21 with a general release taking place on January 24 online and in stores.


Original Story: If there ever was a techno-futuristic sorbet of a shoe, it would likely be the Brain Dead x ASICS ASICS GEL-Nimbus 9. Always ones to push boundaries, Brain Dead bypasses any semblance of a neutral kick to present a flashy runner that will make a statement with every wear.

Colorful and chaotic, the sneaker is dressed down in a medley of punchy pinks and maroon across the upper, along with fluorescent orange along the heel counter and toe-box. Balancing out the red-dominant pastiche are hits of mint on the base and an olive midsole and outsole. Additional highlights include the Brain Dead and ASICS co-branding on the rubber tongue label and heel, as well as obsidian rope laces.

Appearing in a number of collaborations as of late, from Florence Tétier to Cecilie Bahnsen, Brain Dead’s iteration of the GEL-Nimbus 9 stands out amongst the pack for its uncompromising approach to color. Keep your eyes peeled as more information regarding the price and release date are revealed in the coming weeks.

Elsewhere, Gal Gadot spotlights RHU multicolor running trainers.
