Following their successful reimagining of the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 in 2025, INVINCIBLE and ASICS have reunited to introduce their first three-way collaboration alongside menswear label MADNESS. Choosing the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 as their canvas, the partnership unites INVINCIBLE’s cultural influence, ASICS’s robust performance heritage and MADNESS’s refined take on vintage sportswear.

Inspired by the layered textures of dolomite rock, the shoe employs an intricate mix of ten different materials, including translucent mesh, tactile finishes, and layered construction. This raw yet breathable aesthetic is complemented by signature ASICS details such as zigzag stitching, woven labels, and contrasting accents, all presented in a muted natural palette that evokes calmness and a vintage-inspired character.

This collaborative silhouette is set for an Asia-exclusive launch at INVINCIBLE locations on August 23 and a final global release at select ASICS stores as well as retailers like HBX on August 29.
