The Silhouette — EX89: A Fusion of Heritage and Innovation


ASICS SportStyle EX89™ is a basketball shoe that was once a sports shoe originally coined the GEL-EXTREME, designed by Toshikazu Kayano, one of ASICS' most renowned designers. The GEL-EXTREME was known for its stability, support, and innovative GEL™ cushioning technology, making it a favourite among pro athletes. For the present, ASICS revived the GEL-EXTREME as the EX89 made for daily wear.

The Collaboration — Foxtrot Uniform's Neo-Vintage Treatment


For this landmark project, Foxtrot Uniform infuses the EX89™ with its signature neo-vintage treatment. The meticulous detailing includes chalky edges, aged soles, faux glue stains, and cracked leather panels, all aimed at capturing the nuanced aesthetic of a vintage sneaker. To dial it up, the imprint upgrades the upper with premium suede accents and leather detailing. The objective is clear – to create a wearable sneaker infused with the charm of the vintage aesthetic.
