Take a Closer Look at Temptation Vacation x ASICS' GEL-DS Trainer 14
The Gold Coast label’s debut collab is an ode to Australia’s coastlines.
Summary
- Temptation Vacation’s first sneaker collaboration reimagines the ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 14 through the lens of Australian coastal living
- Earthy tones of sand, forest green, and muted blue reflect the balance between work, rest, and the country’s natural landscapes
- Limited to 50 pairs, the collaboration drops online October 19 at 7pm AEDT (4am EST)
For its first sneaker collaboration, Temptation Vacation partners with ASICS on a new take of the GEL-DS Trainer 14, a design that reflects the relaxed balance of Australian life.
The collaboration centers on the idea that a vacation is never as far away as it seems. It encourages a slower pace and a balance between work and rest. This perspective is reflected in the sneaker’s color palette: sandy neutrals, forest green accents and muted blues that draw from Australia’s coastal and bush landscapes.
In construction, the GEL-DS Trainer 14 combines canvas, leather and mixed textures to echo the variety of Australia’s natural settings. The result is a considered update to a performance silhouette that pairs functionality with understated design.
Take a closer look at the silhouette above. A total of 50 pairs of the Temptation Vacation x ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 14 will be available online on October 19 at 7 p.m. AEDT (4 a.m. EST).
