Juntae Kim’s First ASICS Collaboration Takes Inspiration From Decaying Flowers

Following an initial announcement earlier this summer, Juntae Kim’s inaugural ASICS collaboration is ready for launch. The eponymous South Korean imprint stakes claim to three GEL-KINETIC FR colorways dropping November 20th, taking an unconventional sort of inspiration from florals.

Doing well to communicate the brand’s romantic yet punk rock aesthetic, the pack draws from the beauty found in the process of decaying flowers, a somewhat gothic display that ties in well with the increased popularity of dried flowers in recent years. Black, Navy, and Red colorways are on offer, each featuring leather uppers and a removable flower accessory affixed to the laces.

To the uninitiated, the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FR is a new sportstyle model that visualizes early 2000s running through a somewhat formalized lens. The model appears to be ramping up for a larger push, checking off collabs with Cecilie Bahnsen and now Juntae Kim ahead of a wider general release rollout.

The Juntae Kim x ASICS GEL-KINETIC FR pack releases November 20th, 2026 via ASICS, Juntae Kim, and select retailers. Check out official images below if you’re considering copping.
