Blending structure and romance through a sharper evolution of the bow motif, the latest ASICS SportStyle and SHUSHU/TONG collaboration introduces a fresh take on performance driven femininity.

The partnership between ASICS SportStyle and SHUSHU/TONG returns with a streamlined reinterpretation of the GEL KINETIC FLUENT silhouette. This new release places the brand’s signature bow at the centre, enlarged and layered to become a sculptural element that reshapes the upper with clarity and purpose.

The design refines SHUSHU/TONG’s hyper feminine language while staying true to the technical identity of ASICS SportStyle. The bow integrates into the lacing system, creating a precise balance between softness and strength. A three dimensional logo marks the tongue and reinforces the clean, structured direction of the shoe.

Functionally, the sneaker maintains the responsive feel of the original model. A structured forefoot supports flexible movement and the cushioned midsole, built with GEL technology and foam, improves shock absorption in daily wear. The silhouette blends performance with a more expressive attitude aligned with the collaboration’s visual codes.

Two colourways define the drop. The Red and Black version mixes suede, leather and mesh with vivid red accents on the heel. The Silver Metallic version leans into a futuristic mood, using metallic leather and minimal branding to highlight the shoe’s lines.

There is no confirmed release date yet, though the collaboration signals an ongoing exploration of feminine expression within performance footwear and a continued interest in reshaping technical silhouettes through concise, romantic detail.
