Editor's Notes: Ripstop and New Balance's 1906 are a perfect match, especially when Cayl is involved. This new collaboration comes detailed with a durable upper and toggle laces.

ASICSUB7-S GT-2160
$220
Buy at asics

Release Date: Aug 23

Editor's Notes: With colorways like this, I'd argue we should start a petition to have monthly ASICS releases designed by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio.

The 2-piece drop sees the designer's team take on the GT-2160 for a second time, embedding the sneaker with Mino ceramic influences.

Editor's Notes: If there were an award for the most relaxed-looking sneaker, CLOT and adidas would surely be strong candidates.
