Museum Visitor x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 | The Museum Visitor

ASICS has done a bit of jet setting in the past few months with their collaborative output. They’ve enlisted Australia’s Above the Clouds, Denmark’s Wood Wood and consistent as ever, Bulgaria’s Kiko Kostadinov over the past quarter-and-change, globe trotting in a way that few footwear brands are willing to do. Korea is the next stamp in their passport, bringing the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 to The Museum Visitor for a three-pack of sleek Y2K-inspired styles.

Contrary to some collab capsules, each of the three pairs on offer here manage to strike a different chord aesthetically. In yellow, the dominant off-white tones on the upper and earthy shades towards the heel combine for an archival sort of look, hinting at antiques while still maintaining sportstyle charm.

The pair in blue-on-white is arguably the most eye catching. While it begins with the requisite metallic accents that typically define the GEL-KAYANO 14, cobalt tones throughout the upper on a contrast sole make this one impossible to miss.

Finally, the (almost) all-black shoe elucidates again why nocturnal styles have such a high hit rate. Some nightshade tones sprinkled on the underlying mesh nonetheless imbue the special edition atmosphere carried by its two sibling pairs.

All three share a newly added circular shroud, draping over the tongue and displaying the ASICS “a” icon proudly on the center of each shoe. Each design closes out with a gradient ASICS logo, a uniting touch across the full collection.

The three pairs of Museum Visitor x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 are now available via both brand’s Korean channels, where retail is set at 249,000원

There will be a global release a few weeks later via ASICS.com on August 16th, each pair expected to hover around $200. Enjoy official & campaign images ahead while we await this collection’s arrival.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
