[Update 18 Mar 2024] Details remain scant but there are at least new images of the KIMHĒKIM x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14. Check them out in the gallery above!

The pair was teased during the Korean label’s FW24 showcase at Paris Fashion Week. 

South Korean fashion designer Kiminte Kimhekim founded his eponymous label in 2016. In the relatively short span since, he’s gained a cult following with his designs worn by the world’s biggest celebrities like BLACKPINK’s Rosé, Ho-Yeon Jung, Gigi Hadid, and more.

Having honed his talents in France’s prestigious fashion houses, his designs often feature clean lines, bold colors, and unexpected details. He is also known for his use of sustainable materials and his commitment to ethical manufacturing. Now, his signature design language is transcribed onto footwear, with ASICS providing the canvas.

The collaboration over the GEL-KAYANO 14 and GEL-1130 will mark KIMHĒKIM and ASICS’ first joint effort. Debuting them on the Spring/Summer 2024 Paris runway, the pairs are presented in a Black and White option, embellished with pearls, ruffles, and labels.

Information is scant at the moment but the KIMHĒKIM x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 and GEL-1130 are part of the former’s “SS24 OBSESSION N°9” collection. More details should emerge in the coming weeks so stay tuned!
