Japanese clothing brand
Needles teams up with ASICS for a special collaboration featuring the
ASICS EX-89 silhouette. Needles, established in 1997, combines American workwear fashion with traditional Japanese design, creating a fusion of Eastern and Western influences. The Needles x ASICS EX-89 "Black" edition showcases an all-black upper with purple accents and co-branded labels.
The ASICS EX-89, introduced in late 2022, pays tribute to the design aesthetic of the late '80s with NBA-inspired colorways. This modern-day update of the archival
GEL Extreme offers a lifestyle-focused appeal. The two-pack collection includes both "White" and "Black" colorways, featuring contrasting light and dark elements on the uppers. The black leather construction of this version is enhanced by dark purple details on
ASICS stripes, lace holes, and lining. Intricate stitching patterns on the toe and sides add a touch of subtle aesthetics to highlight the dark-themed design. The tongue features co-branded ASICS and Needles labels, while the heel panel is adorned with Needles' iconic embroidered butterfly insignia. The midsole features greyscale accents, with lighter shades of grey on the rear outsole, complementing the black forefoot section.
