German retailer Asphaltgold is adding its flair to the recently revived Asics EX89 silhouette in a meaningful collaboration. Celebrated for its eclectic range of sought-after footwear, Asphaltgold is no stranger to partnerships that fuse style and storytelling. The EX89, an underrated Asics model experiencing a resurgence, is the canvas for this creative meeting of minds.
This collaboration, named "Impromptu," represents Asphaltgold's admiration for the interconnectedness of music and the sneaker-streetwear realm. Their belief that music is a universal connector is echoed through this project, as it honors unforgettable "sneaker moments" witnessed in music videos, concerts, and award shows.
The EX89's complex structure is brought to life with numerous premium materials. The sneaker features a multi-textured upper combining nubuck, soft leather, and hairy suede, reflecting Asphaltgold's attention to quality and detail. The liner boasts satin fabric, adding an elevated touch to the shoe. Small but significant details, like the Asphaltgold flag label on the right outer side and printed insoles, add depth to the court silhouette.
The Asphaltgold x Asics EX89 Impromptu will release August 11, 2023, exclusively via Asphaltgold online and in-store. The sneaker will be available in men's sizes, with the retail price set at $175.
