Andrew Rizzo You’ve heard of fast fashion. How about slow fashion? Story mfg., founded by a husband and wife team out of the UK in 2013, sits at the forefront of that movement, its sustainable, fully vegan production practices matched by a crunchy design identity that mirrors its manifesto in spirit.
Following a set of gingham ASICS GEL-Venture 6 colorways in 2025, Story mfg. has unveiled two new footwear styles as part of its “Trees Are Poems” collection previewed at Paris Fashion Week. Black and brown styles featuring all-over plaid prints are shown, though only top-down views are available for now. ASICS logos are etched into the toe box, and the shoes come with bead sets for customizing the laces.
The new Story mfg. x ASICS collaboration drops November 2026, though no concrete date has been announced as of this writing. See detailed images below and stay tuned for updates.
