Original Story: London-based designer Kiko Kostadinov teased his signature ASICS NOVALIS line throughout 2023, officially debuting the range earlier this month. The first drop was well-received, featuring technical apparel and three GEL-TEREMOA colorways.
Kostadinov has taken to Instagram to reveal fresh iterations for 2024, expanding his relationship with the Japanese footwear titan through inventive designs. While the previous pairs sported dominant leather materials, the two new colorways are clad in breathable mesh uppers.
Textured textiles are positioned across the low-top model with raised ASICS branding extended on the medials. Smooth leather accents decorate the collars with debossed ASICS NOVALIS lettering, moving down the toe boxes that mimic bowling shoes from above. The "Burgundy/Black" and "White/Blue" color combinations are complete with collaborative flaming tongue logos, clawed rubber soles, and plastic heel cups.
The mule version boasts lattice-like uppers in blue, white, and black tones, featuring silver tongue tags and oversized ASICS symbolism across the medials and toe boxes. The backless model is complete with grey textile liners and two-toned bottoms similar to previous pairs.
