Jovani Hernandez HAL STUDIOS is the brainchild of Matthew Thomas and John Bouquet. Last year, the Australian creative agency released two compelling pairs of the ASICS GEL-1130 MK. The “Forest” iteration of the retro silhouette will see a global release soon.
Approached with minimalism in mind, the collaboration between Highs and Lows’ in-house studio and ASICS rids itself of the extra fluff traditionally associated with performance running shoes. Instead, HAL STUDIOS’ second GEL-1130 MK accentuates retro-futurist characteristics via contrasting textures and colors. The sequel takes on a deep green and brown color scheme aligned with its “Forest” moniker. Off white and orange accents also enter the mix, further amplifying the shoes’ meticulously-chosen panels and other design cues. The result is a joint-effort that’s sure to lead to a third linkup between HAL STUDIOS and ASICS.
Enjoy detailed photos of the pair ahead, as you wait for firm release details.
