Thom Browne has never been afraid to experiment with sports and classic cuts. The American designer, who recently presented his autumn-winter 2026/2027 collection at the second GQ Bowl – an event that brings together fashion and American football during the weekend of the main game of the season – has always combined fashion and sports, dressing stars such as LeBron James and Messi, and even staging shows inspired by figure skating or surfing. The iconic cropped suits have become an iconic element of the brand, and now Thom Browne is taking his first step into the world of sneakers.
Thom Browne's first design collaboration with Asics debuted on the runway at the GQ Bowl, and the fusion of style and technology was surprisingly seamless. The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 running shoe in the Thom Browne version feels almost tailor-made, with the designer's signature grey hue complemented by a signature striped heel tab.

The Gel-Kayano 14 is one of the hottest models of recent years, popular not only at Thom Browne, but also at Kiko Kostadinov, JJJJound and Vivienne Westwood. After its debut in 2008 and subsequent revival in 2020, the silhouette has become legendary, and the version from the American brand will definitely not be easy to get. The Thom Browne x Asics sneaker is scheduled for release on March 2, and it will definitely not go unnoticed.
