Japanese skate brand MIN-NANO has teamed up with ASICS for their first collaboration, creating a fresh take on the GEL-Nimbus 10.1. Known for their simple yet stylish approach, MIN-NANO’s founder, Goro Nakatsugawa, aimed to design a shoe that feels modern and versatile.
A Minimalist Design
The GEL-Nimbus 10.1 embraces a neutral grey and off-white palette, giving it a clean and timeless look. Nakatsugawa wanted to move away from a sporty aesthetic, focusing instead on a design that feels more casual and suitable for everyday wear.
Unique Features
While the shoe maintains ASICS’ classic comfort, it includes subtle yet unique details:
- Wider mesh arrangement for a fresh texture.
- Geometric prints running from the side panel to the heel, adding a modern touch.
A Blend of Y2K Vibes
The muted tones and minimalist design evoke a Y2K-inspired aesthetic, making the shoe trendy while remaining understated.
Availability
The MIN-NANO x ASICS GEL-Nimbus 10.1 is available now via global ASICS channels for $200. However, it’s selling quickly, with limited sizes remaining online.
This collaboration highlights MIN-NANO’s ability to blend their unique style with ASICS’ expertise, creating a sneaker that’s both stylish and functional.
