Kiko Kostadinov X Asics Gel-Korika

Product: Kiko Kostadinov X Asics Gel-Korika
Designer: Kiko Kostadinov
Season: 2020

The Kiko Kostadinov X Asics Gel-Korika Emerged In 2020 As Part Of The Ongoing Design Partnership Between Kiko Kostadinov And Asics, A Collaboration That Reframed Performance Running Silhouettes Through A More Architectural And Technical Lens. The Model Reinterprets Early 2000s Running Codes With A Sharpened, Sculptural Approach, Combining Layered Synthetic Panels, Open Mesh Zones And A Streamlined Toe Shape That Emphasizes Speed And Precision. The Silver Colorway Enhances The Shoe’s Futuristic Identity, Accentuating The Structured Overlays And The Engineered Midsole Profile. As Part Of The Broader Asics Development Program Led By Kostadinov’s Studio, The Gel-Korika Stands As One Of The More Recognizable Outputs Of The Collaboration, Balancing Functional Performance Language With A Deliberately Refined, Directional Aesthetic Within Contemporary Sneaker Culture.
