This fall ready sneaker just dropped by Asics in collaboration with Australian-based boutique, Up There. The Gel-Kayano 12.1 is a mash up silhouette and this time it utilizes earthy tones like grey mesh, shiny green overlays and if you look close, red pops along the tongue and outsole.

Multi-hyphenate creative director Juliana Salazar just dropped her collaboration with Asics.
