When ASICS nails a collab it stays in place. This Porter collab takes the classic elements of the Porter brand and integrates those touchstones into the Gel Kayano. If there is a question of flipping or collecting, this is definitely a collector’s item. The shoe is a perfect representation of what happens when companies take the time to provide footwear that isn’t made specifically for the younger crowd. As sneaker culture begins to age up, brands have to understand that just because we take on more responsibility it doesn’t mean that we stop wanting to be fly. The Tanker series is a set of ruck sacks, back packs and the infamous waist pouch.
