The tiger stripe brand, with a logo that references the waves off the coasts of Kobe, was started in post war Japan as a way to promote an active lifestyle amongst kids. Starting things off with a bball sneaker of all things in 1950, killer trivia question, ASICS would go on to transform the sport of running several times over while building a loyal lifestyle following thanks to cross-over favorites like the GEL-LYTE III.
Comme Des Garçons SHIRT and Asics have revived the VIC NBD sneakers, infusing them with a fresh design crafted from high-quality materials. These sneakers draw inspiration from the sole of the 1989 basketball shoe GEL-EXTREME, featuring a sturdy sole structure designed to provide stability during intense movements. Inside, they boast BLAST FOAM technology, renowned for its exceptional cushioning properties found in running shoes, ensuring optimal cushioning upon impact with the ground.
