Gold Coast beach-wear label Temptation Vacation has teamed up with global footwear brand ASICS to launch a new trainer.
The pair have launched the GEL-DS Trainer 14, with both saying the collaboration is a reminder to blur the lines of work and rest.
The design is inspired by Australian beach culture, with colourways of sandy, earthy hues throughout the mesh upper, laces and quarter-panel design.
A combination of mixed materials makes up the construction of the shoe, including a canvas fabric and leather.
“As people who have been wearing ASICS for the last 20 or so years, we couldn’t be happier to take our relationship with the brand to the next level,” Temptation Vacation founders Ed Hatcher and Grace Olivia Roberts said.
“The mix of comfort and fun ASICS brings to footwear perfectly suits our styles: something you can wear for a cruisy day, or as a statement piece, but always in comfort. Our collaboration is an authentic extension of this.”
The Temptation Vacation x GEL-DS Trainer 14 is set to be sold online at Temptation Vacation from May 25, as well as via ASICS Australia and select retail stores. The trainers are valued at $220.
An exclusive apparel capsule designed for the collaboration will also be released exclusively via Temptation Vacation on May 25.
The pairs will then launch globally via a wider release at select retailers including KITH, Dover Street Market, and END. on May 30.
Temptation Vacation was launched in 2020, and sells a variety of swimwear and casualwear online.
