Asics × Vivienne Westwood

Japanese sportswear giant Asics partners with celebrated British punk label Vivienne Westwood to create colorful whimsical Asics X Vivienne Westwood sneaker styles. Vivienne Westwood Asics shoes expertly combine the designer’s iconoclastic avant-garde vision with Asics’ unrivaled technical expertise. Limited release Asics Westwood styles perfectly balance the designer’s signature eclecticism with contemporary sportswear innovation. Co-branded Westwood Asics featuring the all-important Westwood orb on the back heel extend the lineage of the designer’s uncontainable avant-garde punk sensibility into the world of meticulously crafted high-performance gear. The Asics Gel Kayano Vivienne Westwood style is a delightfully modern recreation of an iconic runway design. Mesh-encased Westwood Asics directly reference the Bag and Sack shoes from Westwood’s 1983 Buffalo Girl/Gal collection. Otherwise known as “The World’s End Collection,” the show with its oversized earth-toned looks seriously shook up the status quo in high fashion. Another pair of Westwood Asics update Asics’ classic Gel Lyte sneaker with a bucolic 18th century painting print. Westwood is well known for subverting historical works of arts, most famously with her legendary corset styles. With the Asics Vivienne Westwood collab, the designer’s wonderful romantic and progressive world becomes practical and comfortable for everyday wear.
