Asics Gel-Sonoma 15-50 x Toyoda Gosei “Airbag” Sneaker

When it comes to footwear overflowing with comfort and old-school vibes, Asics are a brand that immediately spring to mind and we’re loving their latest release, the Gel-Sonoma 15-50 x Toyoda Gosei “Airbag” Sneaker which is available to buy from Huckberry.

Priced at $135, the Gel-Sonoma 15-50 x Toyoda Gosei “Airbag” Sneaker from Asics has a highly unusual design aesthetic as it is actually an outdoor-ready running shoe which has been crafted from discarded airbags – something that gives it an interesting backstory to regale your running friends with.

Whether used for running or for heading to the local bar, this is an all-around shoe that reuses waste from the automotive manufacturing industry so it’s the sort of footwear you can feel good about wearing. It has uppers made from robust discarded airbags for extra protection and something that really gives this footwear an actual visual punch.

Stability, comfort, responsiveness, and support are a requirement and essential features that go into each model of Asics running shoes and the Gel-Sonoma 15-50 Air Bag checks every box and then some. You’ll be blown away by the comfort of these sneakers whether you’re running a marathon or just walking to work. The fact they look great too certainly doesn’t hurt.

The airbag-specific colour stitching adds to the unique style of these sneakers and the tongue has been purposively designed to imitate an inflated airbag for added comfort when out and about. A cool little design feature is the fact that there is a reproduction of airbag numbering and holes on the uppers and the advanced midsole cushioning absorbs impact for a smoother stride. Looking for a new pair of sneakers for adventures big and small? You’ve just found the perfect candidate.
