The ASICS Gel Kinsei OG ‘Modern Tokyo’ features a design that leans into the brand’s Japanese heritage. The build, combining semi-translucent textile with synthetic leather overlays, draws inspiration from a samurai’s armor, which shields the body while still allowing for full movement. An angled GEL unit in the heel gives the nod to a curved katana sword. Finally, the distinctive black and white graphics that cover the upper replicate the look of Tokyo’s famed Shibuya Crossing.
