After joining forces for the very first time earlier on this year, A Bathing Ape and ASICS are back at it once again and are teaming up to launch a brand-new colourway of the GEL-1090. Titled “France Camo” the pair opts for a distinctive tri-colour look that combined with BAPE’s signature camouflage patterns make for an eye-catching appearance that will no doubt be popular with sneakerheads across the globe.
Crafted from various fabrics including suede and long lasting canvas, the GEL-1090 is a versatile retro runner that has transcended into lifestyle territory, with BAPE pimping the silhouette up to allow it to appeal to streetwear aficionados.
