Still looking for that perfect holiday gift? These limited-edition ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 9s could just be what you’re looking for.
For the special limited range, ASICS has tapped Parisian creative director Florence Tétier – who is also the co-founder of Novembre Magazine, creative director at Jean Paul Gaultier, and jewelry designer for her brand, Tétier Bijoux.
The limited-edition Florence Tétier x ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 9 includes 30 pairs reworked by Tétier herself, each elevated with her handmade jewelry made from obsolete objects and materials. Each piece of jewelry can be slightly altered and tweaked, allowing its wearer to create a personalized sneaker.
Other than that, the GEL-NIMBUS 9 remains untouched and features its signature mesh and leather construction. Of the 30 pairs, three colorways are spotlighted: “White/Black,” “Pure Silver/Classic Red,” and “Frosted Almond/Black”. The collaboration also serves as the fourth installment of ASICS’ Craft For Mind program.
The Florence Tétier x ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 9s will be put up for auction starting Wednesday, December 14 until Thursday, December 15 via Drouot. The pairs will then be shipped exclusively by French retailer Jogging Marseille. Proceeds from the sales will be donated to L’Ecole Democratique de Paris, a local Parisian collective selected by Tétier.
