Drawing inspiration from forward-thinking fashion, material innovation, and performance design, the Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS GEL-KINETIC™ FLUENT offers a technical yet expressive take on contemporary footwear.
At the heart of the silhouette lies COMFORT TOOLING FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO, designed for active comfort. The sneaker combines SCUTOID GEL™ technology in the heel for natural shock absorption with high-rebound foam in the forefoot, delivering dynamic energy return throughout the day.
The SCUTOID GEL™ unit also marks a new visual identity for ASICS’ cushioning technology. Its sculptural shape reflects the latest in shear deformation design and provides the foundation for a sneaker made to move and be seen.
The upper draws from the archival STREAL 361 soccer spike, reimagined through a modern lens. Two-tone mesh, a gradation spray midsole, and marbled GEL detailing create depth and dimension, enhancing the sneaker’s visual identity with each step.
Warm, opaque tones are balanced by grid-like textures and layered structures, referencing both function and form. These elements reflect Kiko Kostadinov Studio’s signature design codes, where directional fashion meets utilitarian performance.
Engineered in collaboration with the ASICS SportStyledevelopment team, the GEL-KINETIC™ FLUENT stands as a testament to movement visually, structurally, and physically delivering all-day comfort in a future-forward design.
