It’s no surprise to find an endless supply of classic chunky hiking sneakers under ASICS’ lineup. The athletic company has long become known for its classic ‘90s-style techy sneakers that can easily handle most journeys. While the brand has changed things with some bolder collaborations, its newest release is far from what you typically find in its catalog. Taking the form of a boot, the latest release is about adding military strength, durability, and design for a rugged and stable shoe. Although the design seems to step out of the norm for ASICS, the boot continues the same premium quality and craftsmanship you seek out of your performance footwear.
Meet ASICS’ new sneaker-boot hybrid

With their latest release, ASICS’ takes on a sneaker-boot hybrid that invokes some of their most rugged and bulky features yet. Taking on the previously released GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX, ASICS is redesigning its nonnative collaboration for a sleeker and darker look. Covered in a black suede upper with GORE-TEX lining, the sneaker boot has both durability and chicness that’s hard to find on the trails. Matte black hardware and contrast stitching allows the design to exude a subtle sleekness emphasizing the premium craftsmanship. While the hybrid design looks and feels luxurious, it remains a practical choice with a quick lace system that gives users easy access. A rugged outsole helps maintain traction and balance, no matter what terrain you’re exploring. This new hue is set to be released via ASICS’ website on February 10 and will retail around $219. While the initial release of this silhouette came as a shock to all, the new colorway evokes the feel of a different type of sneaker boot. While not changing much of the design or features, this new GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX is a must-have for all hiking fans.

While there’s no doubt that ASICS knows what it takes to build premium athletic sneakers, it’s not often you’ll hear them described as ‘luxury’ footwear. While their footwear technology is considered top-tier, ASICS sneakers aren’t typically what you would expect when picking out a formal shoe. However, thanks to a new collaboration with Corthay, ASICS looks to change that notion with a sleek new hybrid shoe. Alongside the French shoe designer, ASICS has upgraded their latest offering for one that can easily be your new favorite dress shoe. While the outside has gotten a significant upgrade, the inside still holds the classic ASICS offerings you expect from your athletic sneakers.

Shoes in the washing machine? Here’s how to wash shoes safely and quickly

A guide on how to wash shoes

Keeping your shoes in top shape is more than just for a clean appearance. Having washed and neat footwear helps them last longer and avoid foot problems. From odor to blisters, many issues can arise with unkempt shoes. With bacteria that can stick to your footwear and travel throughout your home, keeping your shoes clean from the inside and out can help lower the chance of catching a series of ailments.

Although cleaning your shoes by hand is the most common and popular option, it’s not always the most time-effective. Between hand washing your footwear one by one and letting them air dry, you could be out of your favorite shoes for some time. Besides the loss of time, hand-washing only ensures your shoes are as clean as the work you put into them. This could mean missing a few parts inside or outside and still being left with stains and marks. With the following steps and care, you can learn how to wash shoes in your washing machine for a pristine look in one wash cycle.
