Australian sneaker retailer Above the Clouds’ latest projects with ASICS have revolved around the GT-2160. The duo dropped a “Cream/Shamrock Green” take on the sneaker last October, which was met with open arms by sneakerheads around the world, prompting a follow-up 2024 campaign from the two involving the shoe in three colorways that Above the Clouds teased on Instagram at the end of last year. While the “Cream/Chocolate Brown” iteration just dropped last month, fans have been waiting for their black and white colorways that were shown off previously.
Now, as the year is nearing its final third, a closer look at the aforementioned black and white pairs has been shared. Looking first at the latter, its mesh and synthetic build leans on white throughout, with a semi-translucent section returning to the forefoot. Silver appears at each side of the shoe while also enlivening the tongue and heel branding. As for the black pair, it leverages various gray and black hues across its matching build as silver graces its heel and tongue too.
At the time of writing, neither Above the Clouds nor ASICS have shared when their third GT-2160 drop will be taking place, other than hinting that it will come this year via the Instagram post from late 2023 that is embedded below. Stay tuned for updates as we expect both pairs to arrive in the coming months via Above the Clouds, ASICS and select retailers at a starting price of $167 USD.
