Asics Tiger presents a first for their collaborative releases, a women’s-only release. It’s Copenhagen-based female sneaker store Naked that gets the nod for the first lady-centric Asics collab, who presents the “Hafnia” Gel Lyte V. Naked’s home city of Copenhagen—or ‘Hafnia’ in Latin—provides the color inspiration for their Gel Lyte V, which features a range of hues taken from distinct parts of the city. The mint, coral, and rain camo found on the shoe represent the experience of watching summer sunsets on the city’s signature copper plated rooftops, while black nubuck anchors the rest of the shoe. The Naked x Asics Tiger Gel Lyte V “Hafnia” will drop exclusively at Naked on August 5th, then see a wider release at select global retailers on August 15th.
