INVINCIBLE x ASICS – Before Taiwan was a refuge for democratic Chinese, it was also referred to as Formosa. The Dutch coined the name because of the lush tropical greenery and the assortment of exotic animals, and this is where INVINCIBLE draws their inspiration. The Taiwan boutique’s latest project with ASICS is centered around the “Accipiter Trivirgatus Formosae” bird, or better known as the Crested Goshawk. Adjusting the uppers of the Gel-Lyte III to a mesmerizing grey to mimic the hawk’s body INVINCIBLE adds just a splash of color at the heel. Look for this limited colorway to release exclusively at INVINCIBLE Saturday, October 10.
