Before the clock strikes midnight and the year transitions into 2023, ASICS is making sure it slides in as many collaborative projects as it can. It recently linked up with A.P.C. for a GEL-SONOMA 15-50 interaction as well as atmos for a GEL-LYTE III makeup that’s smothered in bandana prints, and now it’s extending its catalog with a fashion-forward GEL-MJ collaboration with SHUSHU/TONG.The Shanghai-based brand has prepared two simple-yet-striking colorways of the lifestyle silhouette, both of which are equipped with oversized bows that are attached to the throat. Much like how Vivienne Westwood equipped its ASICS GEL-KAYANO 26 with netting back in 2020, SHUSHU/TONG’s interpretation of the ASICS model is simple yet results in an elevated look and feel. The first offering arrives completely dripped out in navy for a more understated aesthetic. Its release sibling is prepared with a blend of off-white base constructions and pure white overlays while the treading is fashioned with bold yellow exteriors for a subtle pop.The gallery above showcases a closer look at both offerings and you can expect them to officially release on Friday, December 23.On the hunt for more sneaker news? The Hypebeast staff curated a list of their favorite sneakers that they’ve rocked throughout 2022.

Jordan has been cruising at full throttle in the waning weeks of 2022, putting a special emphasis on its fairway ready offerings, and more specifically the AJ1 Low Golf. Having only just provided a glimpse of the shoe in “Rust Pink” and “Croc Skin,” the brand has now unveiled a navy colorway.It’s a move that makes a lot of sense for Jordan, seeing as the spikeless golf sneaker is embraced not just by amateurs but by touring professionals like Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy and Nelly Korda. And it’s not hard to imagine this latest navy version finding its way onto the TV screen due to its neutrally colored arrangement.In terms of the color blocking, the silhouette can be compared the “Chicago” with the use of its titular hue in the toe, forefoot and heel overlays as well as the outsoles. The toe boxes, quarters, tongues and midsoles are splashed with white, while the black Swooshes, laces and balls-and-wings logos blend into the dark navy background. Rounding out the look is Jordan Golf branding on the tongues, insoles and outsoles.No release date is available yet, but keep an eye out for an early 2023 drop via Nike’s official website for $140 USD. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tony Finau (@tonyfinaugolf)In case you missed it, Hypegolf visited guitar maker James Carbonetti at his Brooklyn studio to find out why he collaborated on a putter with Callaway.
