Japanese anime Bleach marks its 20th anniversary with an exciting collaboration with ASICS, featuring two distinctive variants of the GT-2160 and the GEL-NYC, each inspired by beloved characters from the show: Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abarai.
The ASICS GT-2160 pays tribute to Ichigo Kurosaki, the brave Soul Reaper and main character of Bleach. Its design embodies Ichigo’s iconic Shinigami aesthetic, showcasing a bold color palette of black, white, orange, and red. The white mesh base features grey stripes and is accented with black suede overlays. Dynamic streaks of orange and red enrich the sneaker, creating a balanced yet striking appearance. A bright orange detail extends from the vamp to the off-white outsole, harmoniously tying the design together.
In contrast, the ASICS GEL-NYC honors Renji Abarai, Ichigo’s loyal ally and lieutenant of the 6th Division. This sneaker features a dynamic red and black color scheme, reflecting Renji’s fiery personality and striking red hair. The upper is crafted from soft red suede, accented with golden overlays. A black suede completes the lace collar and tongue. On the heel, two symbols represent the 6th Division of the Gotei 13, adding a meaningful touch to the design.
