The holiday season brings a delightful surprise for sneaker enthusiasts as the Kith x Asics EX89 “Outdoor” arrives in a vibrant holiday colorway. This addition marks a significant expansion to Ronnie Fieg’s Kith collection, already known for its eclectic collaborations and unique designs.
In terms of design, the sneaker showcases a harmonious blend of understated elegance and festive cheer. The rich suede upper features a two-tone tan base that sets a neutral stage for the more vibrant elements. In contrast, overlays in a deep, sophisticated blue create visual depth and richness.
A nod to the spirit of the season is evident in the carefully placed pops of color. The iconic Asics Tiger Stripes shimmer in a lush green, complementing the red accents that adorn the heel stabilizer, Kith script tongue patch, sockliner and eye-catching bottom eyelets. This subtle yet impactful use of red and green not only ties the shoe to the holiday theme, but also adds a dynamic, playful edge to the overall design.
Functionality meets style in the EX89, an evolution of the Gel-Extreme, first introduced as a basketball shoe in 1989. Asics has revitalized this model with cutting-edge technology, including a full-length Blast sockliner and a Blast heel wedge for unparalleled comfort. This fusion of retro charm and modern innovation makes the EX89 a standout choice for sneaker purists and casual wearers alike.
