Name: ASICS GEL-KINETIC FR “Cocoa Powder” & “Black”
Colorway: Cocoa Powder/Champagne, Black/Pure Silver
SKU: 1203B051-200, 1203B051-001
MSRP: TBC
Release Date: August 21
Where to Buy: ASICS

ASICS is debuting the GEL-KINETIC FR sneaker, a progressive new everyday model that draws heavily from the brand’s early-2000s running archive. Coming in two colorways – “Cocoa Powder/Champagne” and “Black/Pure Silver” – the silhouette features a feather-light construction that wraps closer to the foot, creating a streamlined, fluid profile. A reworked synthetic quarter panel gives the layered, technical upper a cleaner look.

Underfoot, the shoe features an evolved cushioning system inspired by the GEL-KINETIC 2.0, incorporating Scutoid GEL technology with pods positioned directly beneath the heel for enhanced comfort. Additionally, a thicker sock-lining construction adds forefoot cushioning and contributes to a smoother transition through each step, perfectly balancing the shoe’s technical foundation with a softer, more considered feel.
