HOUYHNHNM's "Atmos Monthly"
Vol. 44: 5 of Atmos' Top Picks from ASICS' New Sports Style Collection.

With a vast number of new sneaker models released every day, there are so many attractive options that it’s hard to know which one to choose… This monthly series is designed to serve as a guide for those of you facing this dilemma. This month’s theme is “ASICS SportStyle.” From this brand—which has made a strong impression on the sneaker scene in recent years—"atmos" has selected five pairs they’re currently recommending. We asked buyer Yuto Okajima and PR representative Chiaki Fukuda to share what makes each pair special.

02: ASICS SportStyle GEL-KAYANO 12.1
A custom-made model featuring accent colors.

FuiNam: Next up is the “GEL-KAYANO 12.1.” What’s this?

Okajima: A special-order model created by “Atmos” in collaboration with “Alvino & Pret,” a brand that carries jiu-jitsu uniforms and other items. The key feature is the use of bolt-colored accents against a black-and-white base.

ASICS Sports Style “GEL-KAYANO 12.1” ¥27,500 each

Fuinam: The accent color really makes a difference.

Okajima: The black version, in particular, really makes the bolt color stand out—it’s a fresh look. I feel like there have actually been surprisingly few models with such a bold accent color.

Fuinam: What about the materials and details?

Okajima: The lattice-patterned sections feature subtle reflective accents, and the insoles have graphics. These small details incorporate elements that are characteristic of a custom-made design.
