Completedworks Debuts Bejeweled Asics Gel-Kayano 20 Ahead of Feb. 21 Release

The London label applies sculptural floral beading with deadstock leather details to a performance runner.

Overview

  • The collaboration marks Completedworks’ first move into footwear, reworking Asics’ Gel-Kayano 20 with jewellery-like ornamentation.
  • Public release is scheduled for Feb. 21 at 2pm GMT via Completedworks.com and Dover Street Market London, priced at £225.
  • Pairs are handcrafted in the brand’s London studio with 3D beaded flowers, pearly bows, tassels and deadstock nappa leather petals integrated for movement.
  • The shoes will be shown at the brand’s London Fashion Week presentation before sales go live.
  • Asics lists the project under its Crafts for Mind program, with a portion of profits supporting Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s Community Program, and further launches planned at Dover Street Market Paris and Ginza in March.
