The latest iteration of the iconic ASICS GR-II Sneaker model comes in a pack and celebrates Japan's Mt. Fuji with the color palette of the looks. It kicks off with a warmer palette of the Apricot colorway followed by a cooler tone of the dark Smoke Blue colorway.
Each one nods to the peak of the celebrated mountain in Japan as the first colorway is reminiscent of the peak in the morning. The second colorway is what the mountain's peak looks like at night. Both of the shoes are made from suede materials, with some areas applied in a smooth look and others with a perforated look for breathability. The colorways are marked with branding details and accents that nod to Mt. Fuji.
