Area 51

The GEL-KINETIC™ SP sneaker blends advanced cushioning technologies with a derby-inspired upper.

Drawing inspiration from traditional leather Derby shoes, the GEL-KINETIC™ SP sneaker reimagines formal footwear conventions through a modern SportStyle construction, creating a versatile silhouette that transcends conventional categories.

This fusion creates a refined aesthetic that comfortably adapts to various settings, from urban exploration and everyday activities to the workplace and formal occasions.

This silhouette's upper construction mirrors the design of a traditional leather derby. The traditional materials are revamped with a more comfortable collar and foothold.

The shoe’s midsole is formed with FF BLAST™ cushioning and a scutoid shape, featuring GEL™ technology. These features are strategically designed to help increase impact absorption for advanced comfort.​

For decades, ASICS has been synonymous with precision and purpose. The GEL-KINETIC™ SP shoe revisits this lineage through a contemporary lens, proving that comfort and sophistication can coexist; that legacy and progress can move together.
