atmos and ASICS team up for the second time to update the GEL-NYC in a frosty, “Iceberg” edition. Introduced by atmos creative director Hirofumi Kojima, the upper is inspired by the scenic allure of glaciers with its layered blues and icy metallic accents.
The focus is on the insoles of the sneakers, which feature a beautiful image of an iceberg with half of it submerged and the other half reflecting sunlight. The top of the shoe uses icy suede overlays, silver underlays, and mesh for a breathable upper while navy accents provide high contrast. The midsole is a gradient transitioning from dark to light blue, reminiscent of Arctic sea.
This isn’t the first time atmos has merged narratives with sneakers — but “Iceberg” might be their most visually poetic effort to date. The shoe finds an equilibrium between a performance background and artistic touches that sneakerheads will be sure to pick out.
Though no release date is confirmed, early looks suggest a drop later this season. Expect the atmos x ASICS GEL-NYC “Iceberg” to surface online and in select atmos stores soon.
