Update: In case you missed out on its limited initial drops, the HIDDEN.NY x ASICS GEL-Venture 6 Shield is due to drop globally later this week. Its white, silver and green build, which we initially described last month below, comes with subtle callouts to HIDDEN.NY throughout its build. Release is set to take place on December 20 via ASICS and select stockists worldwide at a starting price of $160 USD.
Original Story: 2024 has been a year of bridge-building for HIDDEN.NY. The Internet’s most famous moodboard has leaned heavily into enhancing its IRL presence, and a big part of that push has been through its collaborations with ASICS. Back in March, the two linked up for their first collaboration, a crisp GEL-NYC accompanied by an experiential pop-up where customers became “employees” of an unnamed company, sitting through a training video and even paying the “boss” a visit before getting their shoes — and now, they’ve readied their second project by reviving the GEL-Venture 6 Shield.
A water-resistant version of a wallet-friendly ASICS trail runner from the latter half of the 2010s (it was released in 2017, then dropped in a slightly updated iteration in 2019), the GEL-Venture 6 offers a hybrid look that’s half road running and half trail running. HIDDEN.NY has amped the silhouette up with a green Tiger stripe, light grey accents including a rubberized toe cap and translucent, co-branded tongue tags split between HIDDEN.NY and ASICS logos.
Though this is the first time the GEL-Venture 6 has been seen this year, it’s not its first collab: past years saw releases created with atmos and IAB-Studio. You can expect the HIDDEN.NY x ASICS GEL-Venture 6 shield to see an online release sometime before the end of the year.
