Asics x Kiko Kostadinov UB2-S Gel-1130 Shoes

Asics UB2-S Gel-1130 Shoes in Deep Mars and Graphite Grey. Styled in an earthy burgundy colouring for its contemporary redesign inspired by its classic 1130 predecessor, the Asics UB2-S Gel-1130 is a performative profile imagined by Bulgarian designer Kiko Kostadinov. Inspired by traditional track and field aesthetics and luxe-like revisions, this low collared sneaker is styled with open mesh uppers and the brand’s pioneering GELTM cushioning system ingrained into its premium rubber midsole for elevated structural support regardless of terrain. A contoured outsole provides unrivalled and unrestricted grip when paired with any challenging setting, with Asics’ GELTM tooling system designed with longevity and endurance in mind. The reinforced toe bumper overlays protects the front of the foot from unexpected abrasions, whilst the dark grey side wall decals pay tribute to the brand’s honoured Ontisuka Tiger legacy. A futuristic 6 eyelet lacing system combines classic fastenings with loop lace securities to place the padded mesh tongue across the natural arch of the foot with ease, whilst the ergonomic and elasticated tongue pull features custom Asics branding for additional characterised depth. Branded insoles in a tonal shade of graphite grey complement the design for a refined yet reinvented finish.

Backed by their commitment to promoting ‘healthy and fulfilling lifestyles’, Asics is a visionary footwear brand with a formidable legacy that dates back to their original ONITSUKA Co., Ltd foundation in 1949. Pairing heritage track and field culture with an innate understanding of anatomical design, Asics is a pioneering brand that continues to push the boundaries of contemporary styling without compromise.
