Albino & Preto is back in the footwear space, this time with ASICS. The jiu-jitsu label has teased two versions of the GEL-Kayano 12.1, with atmos creative director Hirofumi Kojima helping reveal the first look.

The pair shown in the teaser takes two different routes. One comes with a lighter base, while the other leans into an almost entirely black upper. Both are finished with glossy materials, then set over gradient midsoles that bring in volt coloring underneath. Molded “Albino” branding sits along the midsole, surrounded by a repeating X pattern that carries across the side.

Albino & Preto built its name through gis and training apparel before moving further into lifestyle product. Its 2023 Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration gave the brand a much larger presence in sneakers, and the GEL-Kayano 12.1 now adds an ASICS runner to that growing list.

No official release date has been set for the Albino & Preto x ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1. Retailers and pricing remain a mystery as well. More details to come when this collaboration gets fully announced.
