Asics has made a name for itself in the minds of sneakerheads everywhere over the past couple of years, largely thanks to its long run of retro mesh runners in shop collabs and shop-exclusive drops. The exclusive pairs allow creatives across the industry to put their own twist on pairs from collections like the Gel-Cumulus, Gel-Kayano, and more, and thanks to Asics’ global footprint, the brand’s collabs stretch to the farthest reaches of sneaker culture.
