The exclusive model "EX89" will be released by KICKS LAB., a premium sneaker boutique that promotes Japanese sneaker culture from Harajuku to the world.
The design is based on the GEL-EXTREME, which was launched in 1989 as a high-end American basketball shoe. The GEL-EXTREME, which appeared in the 1980s, is known as the debut work of ASICS designer Shunichi Kayano.
Overturning the basic concept of the early 80s, when white-based shoes were the norm, this shoe was a pioneer of colored basketball shoes.
They were worn by members of the most dominant professional basketball teams of the time at the highest level of the game, matched up against some of the greatest players in the game.
The "EX89" continues that design, with the upper featuring colors that match the uniforms of the professional basketball teams that were popular at the time.
In addition, the cushioning of "FF BLAST" is added, providing outstanding comfort.
The outer sole design was inspired by American cities seen from an airplane, and is based on the image of a "city seen from the sky."
It is a model reminiscent of America at that time.
