GT-2160

Curated style by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle development team

• The UB8-S GT-2160™ sneaker draws inspiration from the themes of Interlaced Assemblages, Functional Utopias, and Mino Ceramics
• ​​Soft textures are combined with the idea of handcrafted elements found in iconic artwork
• By creating matte and washed color appearances, the design team was able to enhance the heritage running shoe's archival shape and construction
• ​Contrasted with grid-like patterns and bold opaque colors, the Functional Utopia inspired variations apply direct correlations with nature
• These glossy primary colorways are offset with metallic structures that accentuate the double-layer mesh materialization
• The designers also explored Mino ceramic influences by investigating the contemporary processes of the rust-like qualities that appear in Mino glazes
• This process looks to imagery as a vessel with degraded colors that have the ability to stand the test of time
