Bentgablenits Remixes Unique ASICS Sneaker Models

— July 12, 2024 — Fashion
Bentgablenits introduces a new collection of adorable vintage Cracker Jack charms along with antique gumball motifs to decorate a range of unique ASICS sneaker models. Some of the charms date as far back as 75 years ago as the Toronto-based upcycling imprint has carefully sawn the range of antique charms onto the footwear.

The retro running shoes are detailed with motifs representing small animals, clocks, silver cowboy boots, and much more. The series of charms delicately hand on the back of the lightly tonal running shoes. It is attached to a range of chains or ropes that are attached to the back of the shoes by Bentgablenits. This is a limited release as there are a limited amount of charms.
