EARLS x ASICS GT-2160 Ngāwari Is a Sentimental Work of Art

A brand new collab set to make waves in the upcoming months – it’s the EARLS x ASICS GT-2160 Ngāwari.

It goes without saying that ASICS have been killing the game of collaborations, and 2024 is no exception. Leading the way with the remarkable GT-2160 silhouette, the Japanese brand is branching out to new heights with a fresh collaborator – none other than EARLS COLLECTION. Brought into fruition by designer Lewi Brown in 2018, the Australian label has etched its mark as the go-to destination for reimagining sportswear heritage with an elevated touch. And when you combine that with the unparalleled tech and aesthetic of ASICS? Sheer sneaker artistry. Let’s take a closer look!

A Closer Look at the EARLS x ASICS GT-2160 Ngāwari…

Diving deep into the GT-2160, a brown tone weaves a heartfelt narrative by channelling inspiration from his late father’s cherished memories, rooted in their shared love for the flavourful pāua seafood dish. This sentiment echoes in the sockliner’s intricate design, paying homage to the vibrant shells of sea snails. Stepping away from the sentimental journey, a sneak peek at the rest of the shoe unveils a captivating palette of off-white and teal hues. 

The upper, adorned with a combination of loose gauge mesh and suede, offers a tactile experience that promises both style and comfort. Sealing the deal, EARLS COLLECTION branding gracefully positioned on the side of the heel, adding that signature touch of authenticity.
