The UB7-S GT-2160 designed by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and the ASICS SportStyle team, draws inspiration from Interlaced Assemblages, Functional Utopias, and Mino Ceramics. The design blends soft, tactile textures with handcrafted artistry, using matte and washed colours to refresh the archival silhouette. Contrasting grid patterns and bold, opaque hues reflect Functional Utopia themes, with metallic accents enhancing the double-layer mesh. Influences from Mino ceramics are seen in the rust-like effects that give the sneaker a timeless, weathered look.
