Although the Formula 1 2024 season has ended, racing fans won’t need to wait long for their next motorsport fix. In honor of Netflix’s newest series, “Senna,” Asics is releasing two new sneakers that honor the racing legend. Considered by many as one of the best of the sport, Ayrton Senna’s legacy is transcending the scene into fashion. With these two new releases,  Asics has added plenty of details as an ode to the Brazilian racer. Based on one of Asics’ classic designs, these new sneakers are more than just another piece of merchandise. Named after two of the cars driven by Senna, these sneakers are a must for all fans of Formula 1.

Inspired by both cars, the new Asics Gel-Kayano 14 comes full of subtle details that pertain to Ayrton Senna. In the “Lotus” model, the sneaker is crafted using black and gold uppers with the motto ‘Seek Your Truth’ on an overlay under the collar. The colors of the Brazilian flag and Senna’s helmet can be found on hangtags on the eye stay and the tongue tag. The “Mclaren” variation of the sneaker dons the classic white and red combination of the car’s livery. This sneaker features the same characteristics of the “Lotus” design, except for Senna’s name in Japanese characters, which replaces the ‘Seek Your Truth’ motto. First released in Senna’s native Brazil on December 9th, both sneakers will launch globally on December 10th.  Although plenty of merchandise and items exist that honor the legacy of Ayrton Senna, these Asics sneakers are the perfect footwear that adds a motorsport touch to your wardrobe.

Singer Jack Harlow may be dominating the stage as of late, but he’s also ready to take on the design world. Along with New Balance, the singer is heading into a new journey that has taken him to create a new indoor soccer-inspired sneaker. In recent seasons, the indoor soccer shoe has become the base of many new releases, with brands like Adidas and Nike taking to their archives for inspiration from some of their iconic soccer sneakers. Along with the trend, this latest sneaker takes inspiration from Harlow’s time as a high school soccer player in his native Louisville, Kentucky. While the only confirmation of the trend comes from Harlow’s social media, there’s no doubt that its release will make major waves among fans and beyond.

New Balance ends their ‘Grey’ month with their boldest color palette

While May was all about New Balance’s ‘Grey Days’ celebration, June is shaping into a more eccentric and colorful month. Last month, the athletic company celebrated its traditional hue with a month-long celebration of pop-ups, new releases, and one-of-a-kind surprises. However, New Balance has announced its latest release to start a new chapter, which is the complete opposite of their last celebration. Aptly named ‘Cyber Jade,’ the newest shoe is an eccentric color combination that ditches the subtle grey for brilliant, bright, and bold hues. Taking on one of the brand’s most iconic and traditional silhouettes, New Balance quickly ditches the classic grey, showcasing a firm grasp of all the colors, and isn’t afraid to use them.
