UP THERE x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 “Natsukashii”: A Nostalgic Sneaker Collaboration
Australia’s UP THERE and ASICS have joined forces once again to bring sneaker enthusiasts a new and exciting collaboration. The UP THERE x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 “Natsukashii” is a celebration of the past, with a design that pays homage to ASICS’ archival releases and significant cultural moments.
The shoe, set to release on September 29, features a grey mesh base with reflective olive patent leather overlays, giving it a sleek and modern look. The collaboration branding includes a unique backwards “UP THERE” label on the heel and vibrant green co-branded insoles.
But what sets this collaboration apart is its use of the Japanese term “Natsukashii,” which describes the warm, fond feelings associated with reminiscing about the past. This sense of nostalgia is reflected in the sneaker’s design, making it a must-have for any sneaker collector.
The UP THERE x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 “Natsukashii” will be released through a raffle on September 29, with a limited global release following on October 11. Don’t miss your chance to own this highly wearable and stylish sneaker.
