Montreal-based design studio JJJJound will soon release a follow-up to one of 2022’s most coveted sneaker collaborations.
Resuming its work with Asics, JJJJound previewed Monday two new styles of the GT-2160 model set to release during fall 2024. Like many of JJJJound’s designs, the looks are pared down, stripping away much of the flair and flash that is often associated with sneaker collaborations. Yet despite their simplicity, both of the upcoming JJJJound x Asics GT-2160s feature elevated detailing which separates them from standard pairs.
One colorway uses a white mesh base with synthetic gray overlays and small hits of neon yellow around the tongue and heel branding. The second look is even more reduced and uses a mostly black upper with reflective overlays. Both pairs make use of carbon fiber-textured synthetics with wide-micron mesh materials.
Cushioned with Asics’ proprietary Gel technology, the GT-2160 is inspired by the brand’s 2010s-era running shoes, namely the GT-2000. Introduced to retail in 2023, the Asics GT-2160 has already seen a number of notable releases and collaborations including projects with Cecilie Bahnsen, Ronnie Fieg’s Kith and Gallery Dept.
JJJJound and Asics first collaborated together on the Gel-Kayano 14 silhouette, which was released in two colorways during August ’22.
Other recent JJJJound collaborations of note include the brand’s work on the classic Timberland 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boot, which saw the addition of Gore-Tex membranes and Vibram outsoles. Looking forward, the design studio has also teased a New Balance 993 sneaker collaboration which is expected to be launched soon.
Although an exact release date has not been announced, the JJJJound x Asics GT-2160 pack will be released this fall. Retail pricing for in-line GT-2160 styles ranges from $120 to $130 with most collaborations priced between $140 and $150, so readers can likely expect a figure closer to the latter.
