As an added measure for support and stability, this design comes equipped with a GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system that will keep you on your feet all day. The duo also opted for a sand tonal hue and accents to resemble shipping tape for the perfect cardboard look. Now available via Doublet and Asics, the new sneaker retails for $225. Although many collaborative shoes have recently infused out-of-the-box designs, this Doublet x Asics Gel-Kayano 20 shoe proves you can still infuse style with sensible footwear.
