Danish photographer Freja Wewer had previously worked in collaboration with ASICS on the Movement Uplifts Minds campaign that highlighted the GEL-1090 v2 sneaker model. She talks about how the shoe has met the demands of her movements and created a collaborative model together. It has a futuristic look to the design, with silver hues making up the silhouette.
Speaking about the design, she states that "I wanted to recreate my first pair of ASICS in an updated sleek version. Right away, I knew that the shoe should be gray and silver. I keep an index filled with photos of gray and silver objects that I have taken throughout the years. It has become an obsession for me. Some of the objects in these images have inspired my design process."
