South Korean fashion label Juntae Kim has announced the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FR, a hybrid sneaker that combines elements of classic dress shoes with modern sneaker comfort.
The new model, described by the designer as a “Dressneaker,” features the label’s signature flower motif along with detachable metal hardware. Wearers can adjust the accessories to shift the shoe between refined and streetwear styles.
The project highlights Juntae Kim’s approach of balancing romantic tailoring with punk-inspired details. It encourages versatility through interchangeable components rather than a fixed design.
ASICS rarely allows partners to develop entirely new silhouettes, making this collaboration distinctive. Release details remain pending, with a drop planned for the second half of the year.
