Product Information

Full details

This guide is for fashion-forward individuals seeking a unique blend of athletic heritage and high-fashion design. The key benefit is a statement piece that reinterprets a classic running shoe into a couture-inspired Mary Jane. A caveat to consider is its unique aesthetic, which may not suit traditionalists. The ASICS GT 2160 Cecilie Bahnsen 'Pure Silver' reimagines the GT-2160 as a Mary Jane hybrid, featuring a transparent upper with floral motifs and metallic silver overlays. It uniquely integrates a two-eyelet lace system that functions as a bow, offering a distinctive look.

FAQs

What is the main difference between this and a standard ASICS GT-2160?

The primary difference is the design transformation into a Mary Jane silhouette with a transparent floral upper and unique bow-like lacing, created in collaboration with Cecilie Bahnsen, shifting it from an athletic shoe to a high-fashion item.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. While they retain some comfort features of the GT-2160, they are not intended for athletic performance like running.

How should I clean the transparent material?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the print or transparency.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally consistent with ASICS lifestyle shoes. However, the transparent upper may feel slightly different from traditional mesh or leather uppers. Trying them on or checking reviews for specific fit feedback is recommended.

What does 'Pure Silver' refer to?

'Pure Silver' refers to the primary colorway and finish of the shoe, characterized by the metallic silver overlays and the overall aesthetic.

Where can I find other sizes or colorways?

As this is a limited collaboration, availability may vary. You can check the ASICS website, Cecilie Bahnsen's official channels, and select high-end fashion retailers or resellers.

What is the original release date and price?

The ASICS GT-2160 Cecilie Bahnsen 'Pure Silver' was released on July 19, 2023, with an original retail price of $200.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff on first wear

This is common with new footwear, especially those with transparent uppers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Floral print seems to fade or lift

Avoid excessive moisture and harsh cleaning agents. If fading occurs, it may be a result of normal wear or material degradation over time. Consult care instructions for gentle cleaning methods.

Laces do not stay tied as a bow

Ensure the laces are tied securely. For a more permanent bow, you may consider a double knot or a professional to secure the bow in place without compromising the aesthetic.

  • Versatile for fashion-forward styling, moving beyond typical athletic wear.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear fashion item. There is no technical setup required. Simply lace the shoes using the provided two-eyelet system and adjust the bow.

Compatibility:

  • Styling: Highly compatible with a range of fashion styles, particularly those that embrace contemporary art and design. Works well with dresses, skirts, trousers, and even shorts.
  • Weather: Due to the transparent upper, these shoes are best suited for dry weather conditions. They are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the transparent upper and floral prints with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material or print.
  • Cleaning Overlays: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the metallic silver overlays.
  • Laces: If the laces require cleaning, remove them and hand wash gently with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight, which could degrade the materials over time.
