BENTGABLENITS x ASICS Gel-1130 A prize in every box

This Saturday, July 20, 2024, marks the long-awaited launch of the BENTGABLENITS x ASICS Gel-1130 “A prize in every box” cooperation.

Release Information

Available exclusively at Dover Street Market Ginza on July 20th, limited to 80 pairs. An online release, limited to 20 pairs, will take place on July 26th via bentgablenits.com. Get ready for a special event unlike any other, held at Dover Street Market Ginza.

A nostalgic look at a classic

This limited-edition collection takes the iconic ASICS Gel-1130 silhouette and adds BENTGABLENITS’ signature vintage charm. Known for their unique, upcycled creations, the Toronto-based brand gives the shoes a playful twist. Each pair comes with a selection of hand-sewn vintage charms spanning the 1930s through to the 1970s. Imagine a delightful surprise with every step – a nod to the joy of childhood treats like boxes of Cracker Jacks.

More than just a shoe drop

The launch goes beyond a simple sneaker drop. Dover Street Market Ginza transforms its 1F Elephant Space into a special installation, further enhancing the playful spirit of the collaboration. Expect a unique experience that complements the one-of-a-kind shoes themselves.
