ASICS, with its rich legacy, found an excellent partner in Up There. The latter, an Australian storefront, doesn’t just sell shoes; it weaves stories through collaborations, echoing the rich tapestry of the Southern Hemisphere.

The collaboration last year, where the two powerhouses released a rose pink-injected floral homage, displayed the genius of merging the identities of two respective countries.
