As ASICS continues to innovate in performance footwear, they've introduced the ASICS-ONE.
This shoe marks a significant step forward in meeting the specific needs of live performers. First unveiled by Taka, the charismatic frontman of the internationally renowned rock band ONE OK ROCK, the ASICS-ONE was prominently featured during the band’s 2024 Premonition World Tour. This collaboration highlights the shoe's capabilities as a piece of athletic gear and an essential tool for dynamic stage performances.
Developed in close partnership with Taka and engineered at ASICS’s Institute of Sport Science in Japan, the ASICS-ONE is tailored to support the rigorous demands of live shows. The shoe features a sleek, slip-on design that’s as stylish as it is functional, rendered in an all-black colorway that adds to its stage-ready appeal. The construction involves a unique blend of synthetic leather, fibers, and resins, giving it a neoprene-like flexibility and resilience. At the same time, a chunky, wavy rubber outsole ensures stability and grip under the most intense performance conditions.
Through detailed digital analyses of Taka's unique movement patterns, ASICS has integrated specific technologies to enhance the wearer’s stability, balance, and control. This attention to detail has paid off, as fans and concertgoers have reported exceptional performance, even under challenging conditions such as heavy rain, without compromising on safety or comfort.
The Taka x ASICS-ONE will debut across select global regions on asics.com on September 27, 2024, for a retail price of $225 USD.
