ASICS and Sneaker Politics have joined forces once again, this time to celebrate Louisiana’s natural beauty and strength with a new sneaker — the GEL-K1011 “Live Oak.” Inspired by the state’s famous live oak trees, this release honors their resilience and ability to thrive even in tough conditions, such as hurricanes.
The GEL-K1011 “Live Oak” blends comfort, durability, and earthy design. Built using elements from ASICS’ classic models — the GEL-KAYANO 5, 6, 10, and GEL-CUMULUS 17 — the sneaker showcases a layered look that feels both rugged and refined. Its olive green open-weave mesh base is paired with brown and taupe suede overlays, giving it a nature-inspired feel. A semi-translucent blue stripe runs across the sides, while golden yellow accents add warmth. The design is completed with an off-white midsole and a soft purple outsole, tying together the outdoor-inspired color story.
This pair isn’t just stylish — it’s a tribute to Louisiana’s resilience and roots. Sneaker Politics’ hometown pride shines through every detail, making this drop meaningful for both locals and sneaker fans worldwide.
