ASICS Takes on the Technical Runner Space with GEL-KAHANA TR V4 Collaboration
ASICS has been dominating the technical runner market for years with their iconic designs from the 2000s and 2010s that still remain relevant today. But now, there’s a new player in town – the GEL-KAHANA TR V4. This outdoor-oriented silhouette features AHAR wear-resistant rubber and GEL shock-absorbing technology, making it a force to be reckoned with.
And it’s not just any ordinary release, as ASICS has teamed up with Chinese streetwear label TroubleSmile to give the GEL-KAHANA TR V4 a fresh new look. The sneaker boasts slick silver overlays and fiery flames at the base, with a color scheme of yellow, orange, and red. TroubleSmile’s signature black-on-yellow branding can be seen on a lateral stitched tag, while the shoe’s unique cord lacing system is presented in red.
While there’s no official release date yet, fans can expect the ASICS x TroubleSmile GEL-KAHANA TR V4 to hit shelves in the coming weeks. It will most likely be an exclusive release in China or Asia, available through ASICS and select retailers. Keep an eye out for updates and official images of this highly anticipated collaboration.
