It had been a long time coming, but Sneakerwolf \u00a0(@sneakerwolf<\/a>)<\/strong>\u00a0lived up to his name this week, blessing us with his first official ASICS<\/strong> sneaker:<\/p>\n

GEL-Kayano Trainer \u2018Anarchy In The Edo Period\u2019<\/h2>\n

The striking collaboration embraces one of the most overlooked \u2013 and, yet, most comfortable and influential \u2013 models in the ASICS retro line-up to deliver a perfect union of style and storytelling.<\/p>\n

For this fiery collab, Sneakerwolf stayed true to both his Japanese roots and signature punk aesthetic in the most unexpected of ways, conjuring a sneaker that, as its name suggests, is historically anarchic. During Japan\u2019s Edo period, which lasted from 1603 to 1868, all but society\u2019s most elite were forbidden from luxury, which even included wearing particular colours like red, purple and gold. Giving the middle finger to the repressive Tokugawa shogunate that reigned during this period, Sneakerwolf\u2019s Kayano is coloured up in all three of these forbidden pigments, which contrast beautifully against a crisp black and white base.<\/p>\n

\"GEL-Kayano<\/p>\n

As if to further solidify this release as one of the hottest ASICS drops of 2019, Sneakerwolf has gone the extra mile and decorated the underlays with flame graphics, making this the perfect complement to his earlier work on the fireman-inspired \u2018Hikeshi Hanten\u2019 GEL-Lyte III, released by Kicks Lab. Clear TPU cages have been incorporated to allow the flames to truly burn out of control.<\/p>\n

Aesthetics aside, the GEL-Kayano Trainer is still an amazingly comfortable sneaker that is too often overlooked. There\u2019s a reason the GEL-Kayano line has long been praised by the running community and, if you don\u2019t know why by now, then it\u2019s time to lace up a pair and find out.<\/h3>\n

The ASICS GEL-Kayano Trainer x Sneakerwolf \u2018Anarchy In The Edo Period\u2019<\/strong> is one of those rare sneakers that don\u2019t need a backstory to truly stand out, but have an amazing one all the same. This is a fantastic debut from Sneakerwolf and we hope it leads to many more in the future. This is sure to be one of the best ASICS collabs of the year, which is why it\u2019s our pick for sneaker of the week. Whatever you do, don\u2019t let this one pass you by!<\/p>\n
