Cecilie Bahnsen is no stranger to ASICS, having previously been commissioned by the Japanese footwear manufacturer for some of the most elusive sneaker launches of the last year. Her most recent collaboration idea, which gives the GT-2160 a feminine touch, created similar hysteria when it debuted on Bahnsen's website, which greeted many eager consumers with two sad words: "sold out."
For lovers of the eponymous label, both models of the Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GT-2160 will be available later this month via ASICS.com and select stores.
Cecilie Bahnsen's take on the ASICS GT-2160 converts the athletic sneaker into something more comparable to a pair of Mary Janes, echoing the design language of her previous collaborations with the company. The style has been simplified by removing the tongue and customary lace unit in favor of a floral-inspired strap and a set of reduced strings. Mesh inserts are replaced with a translucent, pattern-covered synthetic that contrasts with the black patent and silver metallic structure of the colors.
Below is an official look at the Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GT-2160 in both colorways. They are confirmed to be re-released on July 19th via ASICS.com and select retailers.
