Hal Studios works together with ASICS to ring in the new year with a showcase of its new footwear silhouette. John Bouquet, the creative director of Hal Studio presents a look at the shoe on his Instagram account. The official launch date is set to be announced. Visually, it appears to have a mesh-centric base foundation for a breathable base foundation.
The details that secure the foot in place are velcro straps. It also seems to have a neutral tonal palette with a fusion of brown and black hues on leather materials layering on top of one another and the neutral mesh. Branding can be seen on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe.
