ASICS GEL-Sonoma 15-50 x Toyoda Gosei Airbag

The GEL-SONOMA™ 15-50 sneaker is rooted in the concept of outdoor exploration. It was originally designed for competitive runners racing on a wide range of terrain. Now, it’s modified for maneuvering on city streets and mountain trails. Meanwhile, the tooling uses components from the first two GEL-SONOMA™ trail shoes. From everyday foot traffic to hiking rocky hillsides, these features create advanced cushioning and traction in various surroundings. This style is made of reused airbag fabric from Toyoda Gosei, a major Japanese auto parts manufacturer. The material is strong yet flexible and very durable. The result leads to a truly unique texture alongside some unique embroidered motifs as seen with the 'C54' & '15-50' embroidery across the upper panels.
