The collection features the ASICS GT-2160 and GEL-NYC silhouettes, each inspired by a key character from the series. The GT-2160 takes its cue from Ichigo Kurosaki, the main character in Bleach. The design echoes his Shinigami attire. The shoe has a white base with black, orange, and red accents that cleverly incorporate Ichigo’s signature orange hair into its look. Ichigo’s name in Japanese characters on the lateral heel of the left shoe gives it a personal touch.
If you’re a fan of Renji Abarai, you’ll love the GEL-NYC model, which represents the character in a bold way. The shoe has a bright red suede upper that matches Renji’s hair color, with black and tan accents. As with the other shoe, Renji’s name in Japanese is on the side, and the back shows the 6th Division emblem.
