Story mfg. is bringing its offbeat, craft-heavy style to ASICS through two footwear designs from the brand’s “Trees Are Poems” collection. Both were previewed at Paris Fashion Week, where black and brown plaid versions appeared in early overhead images.
The limited photos leave plenty unanswered. ASICS has not revealed the model names, materials, or full shape of either shoe, but a few details are already visible. Branding is etched into the toe boxes, while bead sets are included for customizing the laces.
Plaid does most of the work across both uppers, giving the shoes a softer, handmade character than the technical look usually tied to ASICS. The beads push that idea further without feeling disconnected from the rest of the design.
Founded by Saeed and Katy Al-Rubeyi in 2013, Story mfg. has built its name around slow fashion, vegan production, and a design language shaped by nature and traditional craft. The ASICS project follows that same direction instead of simply placing the brand’s colors on an existing runner.
The Story mfg. x ASICS “Trees Are Poems” footwear is expected to release in November 2026.
