Eighteen East x ASICS GEL-Nimbus 10.1: The Ultimate Fusion of Style and Function
New York’s very own 18 East, renowned for its handcrafted and versatile clothing, has teamed up with ASICS to create a one-of-a-kind version of the GEL-Nimbus 10.1. This collaboration, set to release on September 26 and 27, is a must-have for any fashion-forward individual.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
According to 18 East, the design of this shoe is a perfect blend of speed and leisure. The use of organic textiles, known for their slow production process, in a fast-paced sports model is a unique and intriguing concept.
A Closer Look at the Design
The shoe boasts a sleek grey base made from a combination of hemp and cotton mesh. The upper is adorned with black synthetic underlays and finished off with purple accents, adding a pop of color to the overall look. The attention to detail is evident in the canvas panel, which showcases a meticulous blend of textures and materials from the toe to the heel.
Extra Touches of Style
To add an extra touch of style, the ASICS stripes on the side are made with a semi-transparent material and outlined with green and white stitching. The heel and forefoot’s Gel-cushioning also follow the color scheme, with green and purple hues respectively, creating a cohesive and uniform silhouette.
Where to Get Your Hands on a Pair
The 18 East x ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10.1 will be exclusively available at the 18 East store in New York on September 26. For those outside of New York, the shoe will be available online and at the Los Angeles retail store starting September 27. Don’t miss out on this limited edition collaboration that perfectly combines style and functionality.
