The ASICS NOVALIS collection, now in its second season, continues the collaboration between ASICS and the Kiko Kostadinov Studio. This partnership has once again drawn inspiration from the subtleties of everyday life, introducing key additions to the line, including the GEL-STYRAX™ sneaker and a sabot-style shoe. These footwear options offer functionality and style, catering to the needs of contemporary consumers who appreciate both comfort and cutting-edge design. The collection is set to release on September 7th across ASICS platforms and select retailers.
Building on the foundation set by the first season, the latest ASICS NOVALIS collection expands its range with thoughtful updates to core silhouettes. The GEL-STYRAX™ sneaker stands out, following the principles of the ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov partnership. The collection also introduces a new ASICS Training suit, reminiscent of classic track training sets from the ASICS archive.
One of the standout garments in the new ASICS NOVALIS collection is the reversible mantle, featuring branded snap fastenings that add a functional and stylish touch. The versatility of the mantle, along with other items like the zip-down wrap skirt designed to be worn over trousers, shows the collection’s emphasis on adaptability. Each piece is crafted to be a mainstay in the practice of everyday life.
Central to the ASICS NOVALIS collection is the concept of practice—how the rhythm and repetition of daily routines shape both mind and body. This philosophy is visually represented in the collection through the use of an oblique repeat pattern, derived from ASICS’ archival designs and rendered in a custom jacquard tape. This pattern, featuring blue and green diagonal sequences, brings a sense of order and continuity to the collection, reflecting ASICS’ motto of “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body.”
The color palette for this season’s ASICS NOVALIS collection introduces new shades that bring a fresh perspective to the range. Dahlia and ASICS blue are complemented by accents of bright green and silver. The collection’s use of color blocking and updated fabrications, such as soft shell twill, create a visual harmony.
Footwear remains a focal point of the ASICS Kiko Kostadinov Second NOVALIS Collection, with notable innovations like the GEL-STYRAX™ sneaker and the sabot-style shoe. The sabot style, in particular, is devoid of traditional lacing systems, emphasizing ease of use and a minimalist design approach. The incorporation of the raised linear relief motif on these footwear pieces further ties them to the collection’s overall theme.
