atmos Tokyo, renowned for its dynamic collaborations in the sneaker world, is back with another striking partnership. This time, the Japanese retail powerhouse has joined forces with OJOS, the emerging Korean fashion brand, to craft a unique rendition of one of Asics’ most popular sneakers — the Asics Gel-1130. This collaboration is a testament to atmos Tokyo's ongoing commitment to bridging diverse styles and cultures in the world of footwear.
The OJOS x atmos Tokyo x Asics Gel-1130 is a masterpiece of design and functionality, blending elements from both collaborators. The sneaker features an upper that combines leather and mesh materials, primarily enveloped in a durable ripstop finish. The aesthetic is elevated with synthetic materials adorning the mudguard and eyestays in a subtle grey hue. This hue complements the cream and grey finish of the iconic Asics Tiger Stripe.
The reimagined lacing system adds a contemporary twist, introducing an extra eyestay in the midsole and replacing traditional laces with a more modern lacelock. While OJOS and atmos branding is not overtly present on the shoe, the pair has a specially designed charm that carries both logos. Everything comes completed with a pristine white midsole and a contrasting greyish-blue rubber outsole, ensuring both style and comfort.
The OJOS x atmos Tokyo x Asics Gel-1130 is slated for release on December 14, 2023, available exclusively through atmos and OJOS online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at ¥17,600 (approx $120). Keep up with the latest sneaker releases, raffles, and news by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
