Style curated by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and the ASICS SportStyle development team. Soft textures merge with the idea of ​​handcrafted elements found in legendary works of art. By using matte, washed-out color effects, the design team was able to spice up the archaic shape and construction of time-honored running shoes.

With their grid-like patterns and bold, opaque colors, the Functional Utopia-inspired variations form a direct correlation to nature. The shiny primary colors are complemented by metallic structures that particularly emphasize the material combination with the two-layer mesh.

The designers also traced the influence of Mino pottery on this design, examining the rust-like appearance seen in the Mino glaze, seeing the imagery as a vessel that would endure the turmoil of time with its graduated colors.
