FAQ
What is the ASICS Novalis line?
Novalis is ASICS' collaborative sub-label with designer Kiko Kostadinov, producing fashion-oriented sneakers built on real ASICS performance technology. The Gel-Teremoa was its first release, combining patent leather uppers with GEL cushioning and FF Blast Plus foam in a futuristic silhouette.
Is the Gel-Teremoa comfortable?
Yes, it uses the same GEL technology and FF Blast Plus foam found in ASICS' performance running shoes. The cushioning is genuine and provides good all-day comfort despite the fashion-forward appearance. It is a real technology shoe styled as a design piece.
How does the Gel-Teremoa fit?
It runs sleek and relatively narrow compared to mainstream ASICS models. Most buyers find it true to size. The patent leather upper does not stretch much, so getting the right size matters. Those with wider feet may want to try before buying.
How does it compare to other ASICS fashion collaborations?
The Gel-Teremoa is more avant-garde than the Gel-Kayano 14 or Gel-1130 retro models. While those trade on 2000s nostalgia, the Teremoa is a forward-looking design with no direct vintage reference. It appeals more to fashion-design enthusiasts than retro sneaker collectors.
