The relationship between city geometries, shapes, and architectural volumes serves as the editorial’s main theme as FOOTDISTRICT introduces the ASICS GT-2160.
The energy of architectural creations and their relationship with the ASICS GT-2160, a shoe designed to run on asphalt that has been reborn to define new relationships with the urban environment. Identifying the patterns of its structural elements is made easier by the shapes and volumes.
In a setting where ASICS dominates the landscape, brutalism and one of its recurring themes, the exposure of fundamental structures, are directly related to the GT-2160’s distinctive visual identity, which was developed from a time of layering, metallic elements, and cutting-edge technology.
The GT-2160, the heir to the GT saga, expands the Vintage Tech family and recreates the shapes and structures of an era with minor changes to adapt to the times using recycled materials. It was originally created in 2011, at a time when architectural inspiration overtook minimalism. A distinctive line that runs through the shoe from the forefoot to the heel and across the midsole, as well as the GEL inserts in the segmented midsole, give it an urban and industrial look.
An urban shoe that makes its debut by interacting with the streets and capturing the beauty of the city.
ASICS GT-2160 White/ Pure Silver and ASICS GT-2160 White / Shamrock Green now available at FOOTDISTRICT.
