ASICS has partnered with renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma to release a brand new shoe: the Kengo Kuma x ASICS Archisite ORU.

This innovative design incorporates elements from the MetaRide AMU, including the signature yatara-knit structure. However, this rendition pushes boundaries by introducing Dyneema® in the upper—a first-ever for the brand. This flexible and durable material ensures comfort meets performance.

For a touch of vibrancy, the design features bold orange straps that hold the Dyneema® upper in place. A peek inside reveals the familiar heavy-knit structure for a snug fit.

The sole combines the off-road prowess of the FUJI LITE™ 2 with an FF BLAST midsole made from eco-friendly cellulose nanofiber. This combination offers responsiveness and lightweight support for your legs while the outsole provides enhanced traction on unpaved surfaces.

Whether you’re hitting the trail or navigating city streets, this shoe promises both style and functionality. Fans can expect the Kengo Kuma x ASICS Archisite ORU to drop on 5 April 2024. Cop a pair at ASICS brick-and-click stores at an RRP of 33,000 JPY (~US$218).
