ASICS Novalis GEL-TEREMOA
The hulking Novalis runner that made the Kiko-ASICS alliance feel architectural.
Story & heritage
Kiko Kostadinov's partnership with ASICS began in 2018, and the Novalis line was formally announced in 2023. The GEL-TEREMOA sits inside that mature phase of the relationship: less a one-off fashion sneaker than a standing proposition about how performance tooling can be reworked into a sculptural daily shoe.
Materials & craft
The official product page describes a mixed-material upper using textured ripstop nylon and synthetic suede, giving the shoe a layered technical build rather than a single-surface runner finish.

How to choose & style
This works best as the heaviest shape in the outfit. Let the sole volume anchor cropped or pooled trousers and keep the upper half comparatively clean.
