NEEDLES Outfits the ASICS EX89 in Two Colorways

Japanese brands NEEDLES and ASICS are gearing up for their first footwear collaboration as a duo. The two are no strangers to sneaker partnerships as NEEDLES just launched its capsule with DC Shoes last month and floral ASICS were utilized during Cecilie Bahnsen’s runway show at Paris Fashion Week SS24.For NEEDLES and ASICS’ link-up, the EX89 — based on the basketball shoe from 1989 — utilizes NEEDLES’ signature purple hue across two colorways. The first look sees a primarily-black leather construction accented by purple stitching while the latter features a similar arrangement with white as the dominant color. Both pairs spotlight ASICS branding at the heel with purple embroidery, matching NEEDLES’ papillon motif that rests just below it.For those looking to pick up either pair, NEPENTHES is set to host the launch of the NEEDLES x ASICS EX89 in its white and black colorways starting at 10pm Eastern on September 29. Both looks are priced at ¥24,200 JPY (approx. $162 USD) each. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NEEDLES (@needles_tokyo_official)Looking for more of the latest collaborative news from the sneaker space?

Universal Works and Yogi’s New Footwear Collaboration Prioritizes Comfort

Following its second collaboration with SAUCONY earlier this month, Nottingham-based label Universal Works has just presented its latest footwear collection, connecting with Yogi Footwear to “echo the cinematic mood” set by Universal Works’ “Far From Memphis” collection.The collection, which is built on shared ideas about style, comfort, and craft, features five shoes, including two versions of Yogi’s chunky, ranger-style Finn Moc. Additionally, Yogi’s Hitch shoe is revitalized with low-top and slip-on features, while also complemented with an “undercurrent of playful experimentation.”Furthermore, Universal Works and Yogi’s partnership comes alongside a short film, celebrating the collaboration by capturing cinematics that evoke feelings from those moments in life when you believe nobody is watching.Commenting on the collaboration, Universal Works co-founder, David Keyte, said: “I have a genuine love of Yogi. They really do make something that can provide the comfort of a sneaker whilst fulfilling the need for a proper shoe. That’s easier said than done, but Yogi always manages to pull it off.”You can take a closer look at the new Yogi x Universal Works collaboration above and it’s available to shop via the official Universal Works website now.In other footwear news, check out the Nike Dunk Low “NBA Paris.”
