While there’s no doubt that ASICS knows what it takes to build premium athletic sneakers, it’s not often you’ll hear them described as ‘luxury’ footwear. While their footwear technology is considered top-tier, ASICS sneakers aren’t typically what you would expect when picking out a formal shoe. However, thanks to a new collaboration with Corthay, ASICS looks to change that notion with a sleek new hybrid shoe. Alongside the French shoe designer, ASICS has upgraded their latest offering for one that can easily be your new favorite dress shoe. While the outside has gotten a significant upgrade, the inside still holds the classic ASICS offerings you expect from your athletic sneakers.

Taking on the Asics X-Caliber sneaker, Corthay’s French influence is evident in the new design, which brings it to an entirely new level. Now dubbed the En Piste Hybrid, this sneaker offers Corthay’s iconic patina alongside the ASICS Tiger logo. Using moss-painted calfskin leather uppers and a black calfskin and Goretex fabric lining, the entire sneaker is a true balance of elegance and practicality. Finished with EVA soles and welded construction, the design is built with quality and premium details. For this limited edition shoe, the brands have opted for four new colorways: moss, lie de vin, ebony, and gunmetal. Those interested in these one-of-a-kind sneakers can purchase them via Corthay’s website for a retail price of $1,295. Although this ASICS model is unlike anything you’ve seen from the brand before, it’s certainly a must-have for any fan of the hybrid model.

Recently, many brands are celebrating the Lunar New Year with numerous themed designs following differing strategies. While some have opted for bold ‘Year of the Snake’ designs, others have chosen a more subtle approach. Brands like On have used some of their most iconic designs to deliver limited edition designs you can easily use once the year ends. For those looking for a unique shoe that easily blends into your closet, On’s latest release is all about simplicity yet staying on theme. Utilizing two of their recognizable designs, On’s sneakers are the perfect thematic design that adds a pop of color to your closet. 
On’s Year of the Snake limited edition collection

Taking on the Cloudtilt and Coloud X 4, On is celebrating the Year of the Snake with a pop of color. While many have incorporated bolder patterns, On has chosen a subtle yet bold red to accent their iconic sneakers. Utilizing red in the sock liner and accents of the laces, these shoes are a subdued nod to the Lunar New Year. Gold accents throughout the sneakers add to the festivity. In both designs, the brand has added a lowkey tactile snake print that gives another depth and texture to the shoe. Both sneakers are limited edition and retail for $160 and $170. Available via On’s website, it’s no secret these designs won’t remain in stock for long. For those looking to start the new year with a fresh pair of sneakers, On’s Year of the Snake is an ideal option to get you through the new year.
