ASICS and P.E Nation present their latest athleisure capsule
As far as we’re concerned, Princess Diana walked so Hailey Bieber could also walk. But no matter who your athleisure muse is, we’re calling the latest ASICS x P.E Nation collab the most motivating reason to lace up since the neverending lockdown of 2021.
Drawing inspiration from ASICS’ rich sportstyle heritage and infused with P.E Nation’s fashion forward perspective, this fresh collection revolves around designs that offer both function and form, promising to instantly up your hiking, dog-walking, supermarket-shopping game.
Heroing an ultra-versatile pair of cycle shorts, leggings, a sports bra, and the divisive yet undeniably practical dress reminiscent of your school’s netball rep team’s garb, the capsule also features vital pre- and post-workout layers, including off-duty outerwear that wouldn’t look astray on the way home from the gym, or casually slung over your shoulders at a sports game – no participation required.
Then there is the ASICS EX89TM MT sneaker, which has been reimagined in two colourways: Black/Glacier Grey and Pearled Ivory/Burro. Updated with textured mesh underlays, double laces, and oversized translucent ASICS stripes, the ASICS EX89TM MT x P.E NATION sneaker fuses the old-school influence of the brand’s GEL-EXTREME basketball shoe from 1989, with modern FF BLAST™ technology to deliver an everyday sneaker with a high-performance edge.
“We look forward to seeing our customers enjoy the head-to-toe kit, blending ASICS’ world-famous technology and P.E Nation’s fashion-forward approach to design,” says ASICS Oceania managing director, Mark Brunton.
The ASICS x P.E Nation collection is available now at ASICS flagship stores, online at asics.com/nz, and from select P.E Nation retailers.
