DOUBLET x ASICS Made A ‘Cardboard’ Gel-Kayano 20

If you’ve been longing for something totally refreshing and innovative within the sneaker-sphere, DOUBLET and ASICS have you covered in the Gel-Kayano 20 ‘Cardboard’.

Naming kicks after their palette’s likeness to an inanimate object isn’t anything new or innovative, but this title goes way beyond the grainy packaging that greets us alongside each new sneaker purchase. Of course, the iteration visibly draws inspiration from cardboard within its design, but it’s actually the shoebox that really seals the deal. Featuring instructions on how to build your own real-life cardboard sneaker model, this double entendre makes the collaboration all that more exciting. Let’s get stuck into the details of the actual sneaker!

A Closer Look at the DOUBLET x ASICS Gel-Kayano 20 ‘Cardboard’ (1203A519-200)…

The cardboard theme is prominent throughout the intricate detailing across the silhouette, expressing a subtly rigid finish across the upper. Staying true to its iconic design, the offering boasts signature wave-like patterning flowing across the upper, while the textured panels cleverly mimic the cross-sections of cardboard. Wrapping up the offering with a playful edge, vibrant blue laces evoke the look of vinyl tape often seen sealing shipping boxes, immaculately tying together the creative concept.
