Temptation Vacation and ASICS are taking a trip to the Australian coast — both literally and figuratively — with their new GEL-DS TRAINER 14 collaboration. Inspired by the serenity of the Land Down Under‘s beautiful shores and beaches, the co-created sneaker is a laid-back weekend trip in footwear form.
Initially launched in 2009, the GEL-DS TRAINER 14 was once a high-mileage running shoe that’s now enjoying a second life as an ASICS Sportstyle offering. Temptation Vacation, a proud Australian brand, has dressed it in a “Cream/Olive Canvas” colorway with a handful of blue details on the outsole that, together, nod to Australia’s sandy beaches, brush-filled landscape and the vast oceans that surround the island nation. The Aussie inspiration extends beyond the color scheme, however, as a mix of materials, including leather and synthetic fiber, celebrates the variety of vacation experiences that can be enjoyed in the country. Metallic silver accents supply finishing touches, and a classic ASICS combination of rear-foot GEL cushioning technology plus a TRUSSTIC support unit ensures that the comfort matches the looks.
The Temptation Vacation x ASICS GEL-DS TRAINER 14 will release via Temptation Vacation and ASICS AU on May 25, then roll out globally via select stockists such as HBX on May 30. The MSRP is set at $220 AUD (approximately $142 USD).
