A shoe that makes every day feel like a holiday?

If you’ve been following the Temptation Vacation / Alfred’s Apartment crew on socials, you’ll know that they’re possibly Australia’s biggest fans of ASICS. The baggy denim, button-up, paired with ASICS has been championed by the TV team long before it emerged as one of the major fits of the past couple of years, so we can only imagine how much this collab means to them.

Introducing the TV x Gel-DS Trainer 14! The shoe is inspired by the Aussie coastline, with sandy, sun-bleached tones on the upper body contrasted with olive canvas overlays that nod to the country’s native bushland. Ocean-blue accents hit the midsole and insole, evoking sea spray and shoreline escapes, while a mix of canvas, leather, and suede delivers tactile depth.

Being an ASICS shoe, you also know it’s made for functionality as well, featuring ASICS’ TRUSSTIC support system for added stability through the midfoot, while rearfoot GEL technology delivers plush impact absorption with every step. The shoe is lightweight and comfy, while also having that durable sole—meaning you can actually enjoy the parts of the coastline from which it takes its inspo.

Unsurprisingly, the collab has sold out almost instantly, though there will be a global release on May 30th which will be your best bet to get yourself a pair if you missed out. Follow Temptation Vacation here for the latest.
