The umpteenth ex seems to be knocking on our door again … This flashback arrives exactly as we left it in the distant 2000s. Curious to know which ex is it?
It is the turn of Asics which, to celebrate its twentieth birthday, has seen fit to re-propose the design of sneakers that twenty years ago had won the hearts of many “urban explorers”.
It is from the desire to wear a comfortable, resistant and durable shoe in the daily adventures for our city that the design of Shigeyuki Mitsui is born: a silhouette built with resistant tools and a sole designed to guarantee stability and traction on the ground.
To create something new you have to start from what you already know. Asics GEL Nandi made its debut 20 years ago as a trail runner sneaker, and this season has returned to the iconic design that made it famous. We know that you always go back to where you have been well and for this Acsis is inspired by its heritage to innovate the future of sneakers.
The history of Asics GEL Nandi has been revived in the design of Yuuki Okumura:
“The original GEL-NANDI ™ shoe was designed to deal with unexpected off-road conditions. He took advantage of the advanced components of the performance road running collection and combined them with trail running specific tools with a robust sole pattern.With the re-emergence of performance trends in trail running, we wanted to re-propose one of the pioneering designs from the archive, adapting it to the sneaker of today and to the consumer with an urban style, with a series of OGs and brand new color variations. “

With its visibly robust design, initially designed to meet the needs of trail runners, 20 years after its presentation, this shoe has been redesigned with its most recognizable elements and features mixed materials on the upper that include mesh layers and leather, plus a midsole and advanced workmanship.
True to trail running tradition, the GEL-NANDI ™ sneaker is back with the same spirit of off-road adventure, while its classic function has been provocatively modernized to suit the city explorer.
So it is not necessary to love the mountains, outings or sports in general to wear the Asics GEL Nandi today. You can find them on the Asics official website for 100 euros.
