Japanese brand Asics incorporates its cultural roots with their newest “Monozukuri Pack”, which features a redesign of the ASICS SportStyle GEL-1130 and GEL-Nimbus 9. The word “monozukuri”<\/a> refers to a Japanese style of manufacturing is dedicated to craftsmanship, continuous improvement and technical improvements.\u00a0 Such a spirit is found within the traditional art of Kendo, which principles surround self-improvement and the cultivation of skill.<\/p>\n

Connecting the “monozukuri” concept with Kendo is the intention behind this pack, which overhauls Asics’ sport performance shoes with materials and colors inspired by Kendo armor. In the GEL-Nimbus 9, Kendo elements manifest in the textured fabric of the upper. The diamond textile represents the bogu kimonos that skilled swordsmen would don as armor. The accompanying laces are a reference to the kimono’s unique belted design. Kendo techniques often require strict precision, and this spirit is seen through the shoe’s clean cut and smooth contrasts of leather layers.<\/p>\n

In similar fashion, the GEL-1130 has the same upper textile and lace webbing. Imbued within the tech is also the “monozukuri” ethos of continuous improvement. As the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series, this GEL-1130 swaps out its traditional materials for\u00a0synthetic leather paneling, modernising its aesthetic. Performance-wise, the runner’s comfort remains a core motivation, and the heel’s GEL technology provides all-day cushioning.<\/p>\n

ASICS Monozukuri Pack is available on their official site<\/a> and Atmos<\/a>. The GEL-Nimbus 9 retails at USD$250 while the GEL-1130 is priced at USD$170.<\/p>\n
