ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS trainers

Purple

Curated as a collaboration between Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle, the UB9-S GEL-DS Trainer 14 draws influence from concepts like découpage and natural simulacrum—a nod to nature’s imprint and the fusion of reclaimed aesthetic in urban design. Its layered upper symbolizes fossils and geological structures, while the moiré patterns reference everyday objects. The design intentionally contrasts opaque and bright hues against matte tones, adding to the intriguing visual tension between natural and artificial elements.
