This chapter of the partnership seeks to push the envelope, experimenting further with colour, materiality and performance. ASICS SportStyle and the Kiko Kostadinov Studio have looked to nature for inspiration – researching landscapes, terrain and natural phenomena to inform colour profiles and silhouettes. Re-enacting how natural elements blend into and co-operate with each other, materials will be juxtaposed with one another. Expect matte and iridescent textures, lucent glossy finishes, and blended tessellated patterns – all of which are design signatures fans of previous iterations have come to expect from this partnership.
