With rapidly changing technology, it’s no surprise to see new tech enter the footwear industry with increasing intensity. Besides the typical performance technology you feel, the tech space has also altered the look of the shoes we wear. Brands like Adidas and Havaianas have already taken a step forward in this space with 3D-printed designs that dive headfirst into a futuristic design. Now, Asics is entering the trend with a new collaboration with indie designer Kiko Kostadinov, bringing to life a futuristic clog that seems plucked from the future. For this collaborative design, Asics and Kiko Kostadinov have worked up a cutting-edge clog that’s entirely 3D-printed. Mixing Kostadinov’s eye for eclectic design and Asics’ history in performance features, this clog has everything you need for a trendsetting moment.
ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov take a cue from the future
Featuring a thick mesh lattice structure, the ASICS Novalis Styrax Breeze is 3D-printed in its entirety and dons plenty of details. Accenting the lattice construction is a subtle, minimalist ASICS logo overlay that breaks up some of the mesh texture. Taking inspiration from the brand’s previous Asics Acitbreeze 3D Sandal, the silhouette is robust and slightly oversized, making its presence clearly known. Crafted with stability, breathability, and comfort in mind, these clogs can easily be your go-to slip-ons for when you’re on the go. The ASICS Novalis Styrax Breeze is only available in an all-black monochromatic hue and can be purchased for $250 via Kiko Kostadinov’s webstore. As more brands take the risk into the 3D space, expect many more 3D-printed designs to be released in the near future.
