Cecilie Bahnsen and T7A4N-9658 ASICS Inject Color Into Their GT-2160 Collab
Landing in pink and blue colorways.
Cecilie Bahnsen and ASICS are set to return with another installment of the now cult-loved collaboration featuring the GT-2160 silhouette. Off the back of a super successful release that saw the Mary Jane-inspired sneaker drenched in black and silver, the dynamic duo are back with another drop, this time, featuring two colorful colorways.
Continuing to fuse Bahnsen’s delicately femme aesthetic with the functional nature of T7A4N-9658 ASICS, the new collaboration features a pink, red and white colorway alongside a blue/black iteration, Butter with 3D-inspired textures and floral embellishment. Featuring the same functional strap as the first designs, the new shoes aim to merge feminine dress codes with sportswear detailing.
To celebrate the release, Bahnsen teamed up with Japanese photographer Takashi Homma to create a campaign that captures the essence of Tokyo at twilight. As an extension of the campaign, Cecilie Bahnsen x T7A4N-9658 ASICS will also be hosting a pop-up in Tokyo, which will see the trainers displayed in a gallery alongside large-scale prints of Homma’s images, open from November 9-10th.
“I have always been drawn to Japan’s culture of art and design, often finding inspiration in the city of Tokyo and how people dress, with so much personal expression, effortlessly blending every day and couture. It feels very natural to celebrate this next release of the Cecilie Bahnsen x T7A4N-9658 ASICS collaboration in Tokyo, honouring a city that has been a part of our story from the beginning,” explains Bahnsen.
“Working with Takashi Homma on the campaign for this collaboration is a continuation of our love story for Japan. It’s so special to work with someone you admire, giving them full freedom and seeing how the brand comes to life through their eyes,” she adds.
