Asics had a stellar 2024, with the Japanese footwear label collaborating with brands and retailers from across the globe to much success. In the latter half of last year, Asics ushered in a new silhouette, the Gel-Nimbus 10.1, with a friends-and-family collab with NFL superstar Stefon Diggs, and later partnered with Min-Nano and Kith to give the model clean, neutral makeovers. Continuing with this template, Asics has tapped Canadian retailer Haven for a collab on the new model.
Like all Gel-Nimbus 10.1 colorways, a grid pattern is applied to the sneaker's mesh base, coated in a tonal black finish. More panels of tumbled leather, carbon fiber, and mesh are also in the same tonal black. Asics branding remains on the lateral collar, heel, and tongue, featuring Gel-Nimbus 10.1 logos.
Once you move over to the medial side, you'll see an entirely different shade applied to the layered mesh, leather, and carbon fiber. Here sits a light grey finish, evoking the imagery of shadows hitting concrete and highlighting the seamless transition been shadow and light. Haven makes its presence known through this split color scheme and co-branded details on the heel tab and insole. Finishing the design is the tonal Gel-cushioned midsole and outsole.
The Haven x Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 will release on February 7, 2025, through Haven online, in-store, and through the Haven mobile app. A global release via Asics and select retailers will occur on February 14. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is $170. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
