[Update 18 Oct 2023] Campaign images for the ASICS GEL-1130 “Hairy Suede” duo, alongside a surprise drop in select regions, have been announced.

An open mesh upper with hairy suede overlays—it is no wonder some fans are calling out the resemblance with ASICS’ collaboration with HAL Studios. If you missed out on the ASICS x HAL Studios GEL-1130s, here’s your chance to cop a similar pair.

Following a series of collaborations with brands such as PACE, 8ON8, Kiko Kostadinov and more, Japanese sportswear label ASICS now unveils a general release with the iconic GEL-1130 model.

Presenting the “Hairy Suede Pack”, this collection consists of two unique colorways known as “Piedmont Grey” and “Sand”. Boasting the silhouette’s staple technical features of a mesh foundation and GEL cushioning system, the titular fabric dresses the overlays, replacing the usual synthetic leather.

No firm dates have been disclosed for the ASICS GEL-1130 “Hairy Suede Pack” at this time, but expect a release in the coming weeks via ASICS and select retailers. Retail price tag is set at US$120 per pair.
