When Asics dabbles in a new collaboration, you know it will be worth your time. In their newest collaborative collection, the athletic company is partnering with Vandy the Pink and atmos, a longstanding partner, for new designs inspired by everyone’s favorite summertime dessert. With a collection aptly named “Banana Split,” this trio is ready to launch a new pair of sneakers inspired by two very important hues in this ice cream and banana dessert. Adding a bit of fun to a traditional Asics sneaker design, the ‘Banana Split’ release is the perfect way to add a pastel hue to your summer wardrobe. Combining some of the brand’s harsher elements with softer hues, you can turn your everyday athletic sneakers into something brighter and more lively.
Vandy the Pink x atmos x ASICS GEL-Nimbus 10.1 “Banana Split” Pack
The trio’s new design, taking on the iconic Gel-Nimbus 10.1, is a sweet piece of footwear design. With two new flavors (or shades), the Gel-Nimbus takes on the colorways “Banana” and “Strawberry.” Each colorway takes the hue from its respective flavors and uses the traditional silver metallic Asics overlays to add some edgier contrast. Both designs come with two-tone midsoles with Gel cushioning and chocolate brown accents. Vandy the Pink’s classic flower emblem is visible via tags on the lateral heel, while co-branding is on the insoles. The shoes come with two lace options: classic rope laces or fuzzy laces. Adding the finishing touch is a co-branded shoe box embodying the three brands’ unique partnership. While the “Banana” shade was previously seen at Atmoscon, both shades are getting a global release on May 30 via Vandy the Pink and Atmos’ webstores.
