ASICS Adds an Earthy “Olive Green” Variant to the GEL-Kinetic 2.0 Series

Name: ASICS GEL-Kinetic 2.0 “Olive Green”
Colorway: Obsidian Grey/Olive Canvas
SKU: 1203A678-025
MSRP: $250 USD
Release Date: Available Now
Where to Buy: ASICS

ASICS gears up for the autumnal season with an earth-tone GEL-Kinetic 2.0 iteration. Dubbed “Olive Green,” the new colorway is rendered in “Obsidian Grey” and “Olive Canvas,” while touches of “Black” amplify its understated yet multilayered aesthetic.

Drawing technical design cues from early 2000s performance franchises like the original GEL-KINETIC and GEL-FRANTIC series, the sneaker boasts a highly structured, layered construction. The breathable fine mesh upper serves as a lightweight foundation, intricately fortified by synthetic leather and PU overlays that are molded into place to give the silhouette its aggressive, defined shape.

The monochromatic interplay of dark greys and rich olive greens gives the shoe a rugged, outdoor-ready finish, while classic ASICS side-stripe branding blends seamlessly into the technical paneling for a streamlined, modern look. Notably, the upper is constructed using leather-free materials, catering to a clean, contemporary streetwear sensibility without sacrificing everyday durability.
