The ASICS UB7-S GT-2160 is a reinterpretation of the GT-2160 silhouette, curated by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and the ASICS SportStyle development team. This model draws inspiration from themes of Interlaced Assemblages, Functional Utopias, and Mino Ware ceramics.

• Inspired by Mino Ware ceramics, particularly the process of rust in glazes, reflecting colors that withstand aging.
• Combines soft textures with elements of handcrafted items found in iconic artwork.
• Features matte and washed color appearances to enhance the archival shape and construction of the heritage running shoe.
• Contrasts grid-like patterns and bold opaque colors with design elements inspired by advanced functionality and direct correlations with nature.
• Glossy primary colors are complemented by a metallic structure that emphasizes the texture of the two-layer mesh material.
• The design incorporates themes of weaving, the pursuit of functionality, and Mino Ware ceramics from the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture.
