[Update 1 Nov 2023] Detailed images of the Naruto: Shippuden x ASICS GEL-NYC “FINAL ARC” have now emerged! Said to arrive with a set of accessories, check out the details of the pair, including its cape flame-inspired panels and Konoha symbol dubrae, while we anticipate a Europe release via Courir on 11 December.

Looking through the list of past releases, the Demon Slayer x Crocs collection has cultivated a stir within the sneaker and anime community. Exciting to say, the fervor is about to be passed on, as it has been confirmed that there will be a Naruto: Shippuden x ASICS collab in the horizon.

Themed the “FINAL ARC”, this release marks the final sequential release initiated by French TV show host Sebastien Abdelhamid, following previous GEL-LYTE III and GEL-1130 models. Full release details have yet to be disclosed, but a close-up shot reveals a GEL-NYC model in the works.

A black dressing forms the main composition of the upper, complimented by red accents through a Uzumaki Clan symbol on the shoe tongue and lace linings. In contrast to that, a striking Naruto: Shippuden graphic takes its spot on the insoles.

Slated to arrive for Paris Games Week on 1 to 5 November, this upcoming collaboration is also said to see a wider Europe-exclusive release via Courir soon. Stay tuned here for further updates.
