Showcasing the best of what the brand has to offer the ASICS Gel-NYC Hidden NY does a good job of exemplifying how ASICS in recent years have been able to challenge the status quo in the footwear space. Flaunting an ultra-clean modernist retro aesthetic made up of clean white mesh underlays that are reinforced with metallic silver overlays this collaboration between ASICS and up-and-coming creative brand Hidden NY is as cool and edgy as its target market. Offsetting the slick silver look green pixelated tiger stripes decorate the sidewalls, complemented by an ASICS label and bounding box “h” emblem on the lateral rear. A notable addition to the design, particularly due to its significance as a nod to the Photoshop and Illustrator software programs, which helped establish the mood board’s PPF (Past Present Future) catalogue. Green GEL cushioning bolsters the midsole which is shored up by a metallic silver shank plate for stability. Underfoot a chequerboard transparency grid pattern decorates the heel panel and adds some additional intrigue to every step. ASICS Gel-NYC Hidden NY | 1201B001-100 | Laced
