ASICS

Pre-owned Trainers In White

Asics Metaride Amu Kengo Kuma men's collection (the only ones for sale in the world) new and authentic Kengo Kuma designed his first shoes, and he did it - for Asics - using the same attention to composition and sustainability that distinguishes his architecture. The inspiration is that of the bamboo construction typical of Japanese construction, which in Kengo Kuma's Asics takes the form of a white knit upper on which crossed stripes of synthetic material are superimposed. The smallest of his architectures, Kengo Kuma defines it, a mobile architecture that follows the complex movement of the foot, which is a combination of flexion and torsion, with an external skin in Yatara knit, one of the bamboo processing techniques, and two layers made with a mesh that delicately follows the foot. As in a structural design, overlays are strategically placed to provide stability and ensure a comfortable fit. The midsole is the only note of color - gold - of the shoes designed by Kengo Kuma for Asics, and is made with fabrics derived from wood. Designed for running, Kuma's shoes maintain the characteristics of Asics' entire Metaride line, with the shape curving towards the toes to reduce energy consumption (by about a fifth) by suppressing excessive flexion of the ankles during running, making it easier to exercise long-term for longer.
