Lapstone & Hammer is honored to partner with ASICS for an exclusive early release of two new colorways in their newest sportstyle silhouette, The GEL-KINETIC FLUENT. Available online and in-store on 3/1, a month before they drop globally, the sneaker takes inspiration from archived running shoes and reimagines their heritage influences with modern technologies.
The GEL-KINETIC FLUENT is the quintessential ASICS sneaker of the 2020s, borrowing technical welding and eyelet elements from running shoes in the 2010s in constructing its upper. These details are met with contemporary materials that add both depth and texture to the design. The shoe’s midsole is formed with FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning throughout for responsive rebound and lightweight cushioning, and Scutoid GEL technology in the heel that helps provide advanced cushioning in everyday scenarios. Both of these features are strategically designed to help increase impact absorption for advanced comfort.
The two new colors that we will part of our early release are an ultra clean White/White version that features metallic silver accents layered on top of white mesh, and a Seal Grey/Pure Silver that features cream leather on top of grey mesh with green and silver accents throughout. Also releasing the week after the GEL_KINETIC FLUENT, on 3/8, is our new Lapstone "Year of the Snake" cut-and-sew capsule. Stay tuned later in the week for a lookbook of both the shoe and capsule modeled by a very special surprise guest!
The ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT will be available on Saturday, 3/1 @ 10:00am both in-store & online.
