ASICS is know for its tradition of running sneakers that keep your step and stride in order while pushing the designs boundaries. Their HN2-S Protoblast is a perfect example with a futuristic appearance locked down with gel technology and cushioning in the mid and outsole.
Our design team worked closely with the Kiko Kostadinov Studio to create the HN2-S PROTOBLAST™ sneaker. It's an energized silhouette that inspires your body and mind to keep moving. The upper borrows key elements from the GEL-100™ series. Meanwhile, the tooling and toe design channel inspiration from the GELHOOP™ 6 volleyball shoe. Mirroring the NOVABLAST™ 2 running shoe's cushioning, the HN2-S PROTOBLAST™ sneaker is re-calibrated for lifestyle settings.
