Kengo Kuma’s first footwear collaboration with ASICS in 2020 is a bold reinterpretation of the Metaride AMU. 🧵 🏗️ Inspired by ‘Yatara Ami‘, a traditional Japanese bamboo knotting, the upper’s interwoven strips are a functional and symbolic nod to connection and strength. The natural tan midsole, made from cellulose nanofibers, reflects Kuma’s commitment to sustainable innovation, offering superior cushioning while staying eco-conscious. Kuma believes sneakers offer a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between movement and design, blending his architectural expertise with ASICS’ technological prowess. This design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a story of balance and harmony.
