01: ASICS SportStyle GEL-KINETIC FR
A new direction for the brand.
Fuinam: Let's start with the “GEL-KINETIC FR.” What kind of model is this?
Okajima: “This is an entirely new model that combines elements of the ‘GEL-KINETIC’ with those of the ‘GEL-FRANTIC’ series from our archives.”
ASICS Sports Style “GEL-KINETIC FR” 1 TP9T19,800 each
Fuinam: What kind of model is the “GEL-FRANTIC”?
Okajima: A distinctive archive model featuring GEL in the heel. This design carries over those elements, including the thinner sole toward the toe.
Fuinam: On the other hand, the GEL appears to be the “GEL-KINETIC” model.
Okajima: The heel features Scutoid GEL, developed by the ASICS Sports Engineering Research Institute.
Fuinam: The overall look gives the impression of being more fashion-forward—or, rather, closely tied to the world of fashion.
Fukuda: The black version, in particular, has a sleek look. Since it has less mesh, it looks different from the usual .
Okajima: It’s a little different from what you’d call a “sporty” vibe. Among the models we’re featuring this time, this one might be best suited for advanced riders.
Fuinam: This seems like a great next pair for anyone who already wears the “GEL-KAYANO Series” or the “GEL-NYC Series.”
Fukuda: It would be interesting for people who already wear classic models to take it a step further. I think it’s also a good choice for those who want to stand out from the crowd.
