Last year, Asics announced it had signed NFL star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to an endorsement deal, marking Asics' first NFL athlete. Since this announcement, we've seen Diggs take the gridiron in custom Asics-themed cleats and wear models like the GT-2160 off the field. However, Diggs has just announced his first collaborative sneaker with Asics, getting his version of the recently introduced Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1
Stefon Diggs’ take on the Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 features a dynamic mix of materials and design elements. The upper showcases a combination of mesh and leather overlays, with metallic silver gracing the leather portions on the toe, vamp, and eyestays. The midfoot base layer boasts a warped grid pattern, while standard white mesh accents are seen across various panels. Adding a personal touch, custom letter charms spelling Friends with a heart logo are included on the heel bracelet. The tongue features standard Gel-Nimbus 10.1 branding on the left shoe, while the right shoe is adorned with the world family, a heart logo, and three yellow figures. The iridescent heel counter and white Gel-cushioned midsole complete the design, paired with a black and orange outsole.
As of this writing, the Stefon Diggs x Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 has no confirmed release, and this may be a friends-and-family sneaker. However, if it does make it to retail, expect a release in 2024 through Asics and select retailers online and in-store.
