New York-based apparel brand 18 East has teamed up with ASICS to release a special version of the GEL-Nimbus 10.1, blending craftsmanship with sports performance. Known for its focus on handcrafted details, 18 East has taken inspiration from the idea of balancing “fast” and “slow.” The result is a sneaker that combines the speed-driven style of running shoes with the thoughtful textures of handmade textiles.
The shoe features a grey base built with hemp and cotton mesh, giving it an organic, natural look. Black synthetic overlays with purple trims add bold contrast, while canvas panels on the toe, forefoot, and heel showcase the detailed craftsmanship. The ASICS stripes on the side stand out with a semi-transparent finish, highlighted by green and white stitching. To complete the look, the Gel cushioning in the heel and forefoot is colored in green and purple, tying the design together with subtle balance.
This release is more than just a performance sneaker; it’s a creative fusion of texture, function, and design philosophy.
