British designer Vivienne Westwood has teamed up with Asics Shoes Women for a footwear collaboration which includes the GEL-Mai. The duo teased the partnership with an on-foot look at the low-top silhouette which will be joined by two other ASICSTIGER styles. The GEL-Mai holds a white base with red detailing throughout its frame. A sock detail is added to the pair giving it a more street-friendly profile.
For the Asics Shoes Running, Vivienne Westwood has revisited the archive “Squiggle” print, that first made its debut in her Fall/Winter 1981 collection. The sneaker comes in the same red and white colorway as that original pattern, with an intarsia-knitted flexible sock and a white external structure. The sneaker is then finished the the iconic Vivienne Westwood orb logo embroidered on its heel.
The “Squiggle” print is also a reference point for the Asics Shoes White, which comes in red and orange color palette once used on the archive pattern. The print also appears throughout the sneaker’s lining, while multi-colored Vivienne Westwood branding appears on the back of the shoe.
The rebel status of Vivienne Asics Casio G-SHOCK Gel-Mai Knit Black lies as one of the cornerstones of UK Fashion. Since her collaboration with the Sex Pistols’ Malcolm McLaren she has established herself as a voice for those fighting to make waves as opposed to simply riding them. She recently connected with ASICS to create a captivating Gel Mai Knit MT.
