Updated February 19th, 2024: A first look at the HAL Studios x ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 has been revealed by @hidden.ny.

After completing a trilogy of celebrated GEL-1130 releases, HAL STUDIOS looks to new ventures with collaborative partner ASICS — and you can expect something drastically different from their past launches.

A photo shared by the brand’s creative director John Bouquet reveals the duo’s next join project — a mesh-and-leather based silhouette that spurns a traditional lacing arrangement in favor of three thick mid-foot straps and lock down in alternating directions. The sole boasts exposed GEL cushioning at both heel and forefoot, likely pulled from the brand’s extensive running archives. A total of three colorway options appear, but given these are still in its sampling stages, the final product offering could be different than what’s pictured.

As evident with their first GEL-1130 collection, this upcoming project will likely launch with a unifying theme that binds the three chosen colorways.

While we await further details, here’s what else you can learn about from the Japanese sportswear brand — the ASICS GEL-Terrain.
