While it’s common to find a quality running shoe in ASICS’ lineup, it’s rare to see the brand offer a stealthy and technical option. In their latest collaboration with HAVEN, the athletic brand has turned a new leaf to create a more techy design that boasts a darker and edgy look. Taking on one of ASICS’ older running designs, the latest collaborative design is transformed into a modern and cutting-edge shoe full of high-performance features. Coupled with a darker hue, there’s no doubt this new design is a brand-new feel for ASICS, making it even more of a special collaboration. For those looking for a more contemporary performance sneaker, the HAVEN x ASICS partnership has produced the must-have shoe for the season. 

A new look for the Gel-Nimbus 10.1

Using the 2008-era Gel-Nimbus 10.1, the newest collaboration between HAVEN and ASICS is about adding technical features that elevate the shoe’s performance. Now including layered mesh, carbon fiber details, and reflective accents, the new sneaker exudes an edgier design that also helps accommodate the natural bone structure of the foot. The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 comes equipped with a dual-layer EVA foam midsole, GEL technology inserts, and a TRUSSTIC system to add advanced cushion and support to the sneaker. Donning a black and grey combination, the sneaker is inspired by urban concrete shadows for a moodier touch. This stealthy design will be available for fans on February 14 via ASICS’ web store. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, faithful fans of the athletic company will adore the latest collaboration that fuses each brand’s strongest characteristic.

It’s no secret that Asics has used the last couple of seasons to make use of their entire color collection for their newest releases.

Now, the athletic brand is taking on a lesser-used shade to really make a statement. With a touch of metallic shine, the newest sneaker is anything but subtle or typical. Instead, this mashup of hues allows for the ultimate combination of colors that’ll bring a pop of color to your closet. Even for those weary of adding too much vibrancy into your shoe rotation, this new sneaker is low-key enough to work with any outfit you have in mind.

The sneaker-loafer is fashion’s most divisive shoe — and it’s not going anywhere
The story of the sneaker-loafer trend

First thought to be an obscure trend of 2024, the sneaker-loafer hybrid trend is rounding out to be one of the most divisive footwear trends of 2025. Like many of the newer designs, this hybrid trend boasts the ability to look sophisticated while offering all of the comfort features of a typical sneaker. Designed to be a practical dressy everyday shoe, the sneaker-loafer trend sounded like the ideal balance. 

However, much of the controversy comes from the shoe's unique look, which often utilizes the top of a loafer with the outsole of a sneaker. As part of fashion’s growing “ugly shoe” trend, which also brought us the “dad shoe,” this design is crafted to stand out from the others on the shelves. A bulkier version of a dressy loafer, this silhouette has captured eyes for its one-of-a-kind look. And while many are still debating whether the trend deserves longevity, brands are already planning how to take this trend on with their stylish touch.
