Kiko Kostadinov and ASICS have found a way, again, to make comfort feel like something more than just functional with the Novalis Season 3. For this collection, the duo blends running inspiration with high-fashion sensitivity, pulling together knitwear, bold patterns, and standout Gel-Styrax silhouettes that feel adventurous. In the design, Kostadinov’s touch is apparent by fusing utility and design with details like geometric diamond motifs and contrast-stitched panels that give it texture and personality. More than their performance features and design, these sneakers are a testament to both brands’ craftsmanship and commitment to quality. Along with the reworked GEL-STYRAX mules, Novalis 3 also features new apparel pieces like knitwear and retro-inspired items. 

ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov bring Novalis Season 3 with style and boldness

At the center of the drop is the new Gel-Styrax, arriving in two colorways: a sharp graphite gray with teal and in a combination of obsidian grey with rust orange accents. Both combinations play with contrast in a way that feels true to Kostadinov’s distinct style. The sneaker uses ASICS’ signature GEL cushioning for comfort and stability, paired with layered panels that add depth and durability. For added performance, the underfoot includes FF BLAST PLUS cushioning and a TRUSSTIC heel unit for stability and comfort. Alongside the footwear, the collection features knitwear and accessories that incorporate the same geometric patterns and bold detailing, tying the line together as a cohesive expression of the Novalis vision. The ASICS Novalis Season 3 collection is available through Kiko Kostadinov’s webstore and the brand’s Los Angeles and Tokyo flagship stores for $205 USD.

Timex’s latest digital watch is stuck in the best version of the ’80s
Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware

Timex just discovered the secret to a great reissue backstory: just make it up!

The new Retroware Digital breaks from Timex’s usual playbook of reissuing specific archival models like the Q Timex or T80 lines. Instead, this one’s an entirely new design that lifts the swagger of vintage digital sport watches without copying any single reference.

Yema’s bronze dive watch gets a gold-flecked makeover
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Morteau, France-based Yema has added three new dial colors to its Superman Bronze CMM.10 lineup, and they might be the best-looking version of this watch yet.

The brown, green, and white dials all get the same glossy, lacquered treatment, with applied gilt-finished logos, raised hour markers, and diamond-cut hands that catch light in a way flat-printed dials just can’t match.
