Despite being relatively new to the fashion industry, Seoul-based designer label Matin Kim has already made a significant impact on the streetwear scene and gained popularity among numerous young celebrities such as NewJeans, TWICE, NMIXX, and others.

Focused on creating trendy and comfortable fashion that appeals to a global audience, the brand is teaming up with ASICS for their inaugural collaboration on the GEL-SONOMA 15-50.

With a design inspired by cross-country footwear and equipped with ASICS’ renowned GEL cushioning technology for comfort and support, these sneakers are ideal for traversing a variety of terrains, ranging from city streets to rugged trails.

The design is kept simple, with a contrasting tongue patch serving as the only prominent visual detail to distinguish the collaboration.

Expected to launch on 15 March, the Matin Kim x ASICS GEL-SONOMA 15-50 will be made available in three colorways, including “Glacier Grey”, “Oasis Green”, and “Black”, via both brands. We will keep you informed here as we await further updates.
