Josué Thomas, the visionary founder of GALLERY DEPT., is making waves during this year’s Miami Art Basel with his latest solo exhibition, Mental Energy, and a highly anticipated partnership with ASICS. This collaboration introduces the GEL-K1011, an all-new silhouette that merges art and functionality. Available in three distinct colorways, the collection pays homage to Thomas’ artistic ethos and ASICS’ rich Sportstyle legacy.

Colorway Breakdown
White/Silver: This pair draws inspiration from ASICS’ iconic retro designs. Its clean and sporty aesthetic reflects timeless sneaker heritage.

Khaki/Clay Canyon: Featuring earthy tones, this trail-inspired rendition brings the rugged outdoors to the streets. The muted palette highlights durability and versatility.

Hand-Painted Black/White: A true artistic statement, this all-black model is uniquely hand-painted with white strokes, embodying Thomas’ raw creative energy.

Each pair includes subtle yet bold branding elements, such as “DEPT.” stenciled across the toe box and GALLERY DEPT.’s signature yellow heel tag. These design details seamlessly bridge art and fashion.
