ASICS Partners with P.E Nation to Launch Two New 'GEL-1130' Models
Niko Pajkovic — July 29, 2022 — Fashion
ASICS has teamed up with P.E Nation to release two new GEL-1130 sneakers, both of which have been designed to pay tribute to the brand's heritage.
Both sneakers feature light cream uppers. However, they differ from one another significantly in their detailing and overall structures. For example, the first GEL-1130 is more similar to Andersson Bell’s other ASICS collabs as it borrows the familiar cord design throughout the upper. In addition, these shoes comes with neon color details such as bright pink with volts.
Meanwhile, the second version of the sneaker is far more subtle in its color scheme and design choices. In addition, instead of cords, it features tiger stripes that are made with a unique tinted translucent material.
