ASICSTIGER™ GEL-YETITOKYO™ HI G-TX “DESERT” SHOE FOR NONNATIVE

ASICSTIGER™ brand announced new collaboration with nonnative to roll-out the GEL-YETITOKYO HI G-TX “DESERT” model.

Drawing inspiration from tactical military boots style, nonnative has adopted a premium GORE-TEX approved suede upper with a matching sand beige chunky outsole. The addition for an extra set of eyelets at the mid foot provides an improved fit, while the heel drawcord of the original model is replaced with a combat boot style tape loop, allowing the laces to wrap around the ankle to further secure the foot. Taking the exceptional design of the original GEL-YETI model as its base, applying the urban design aesthetics of non-native and the outstanding functionality of waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX technology, a new level of comfort, performance and style has been achieved.

The GEL-YETITOKYO HI G-TX “DESERT” shoe will be available globally from December 8th.
