Foot Locker to Release ASICS Sneaker Created by its 'Fueling the Future of Footwear' Master Class at PENSOLE Footwear Design Academy

Foot Locker, in collaboration with PENSOLE Footwear Design Academy and ASICS America Corporation, is unveiling the new ASICS "Fresh Up" GEL-180 model – a PENSOLE x ASICS collaboration created by members of the Foot Locker "Fueling the Future of Footwear" Master Class of 2016.

With limited pairs produced, the ASICS "Fresh Up" GEL-180 shoe will be available on Saturday, Feb. 24, exclusively at select Foot Locker locations around the world.

Created by Master Class members Brady Corum, an American footwear designer, and Vince Lebon, an Australian color and materials designer, the shoe is inspired by hip-hop culture's inherent nature of creativity and innovation, and features textures and colors from microphones, turntables, graffiti and more.

"Through our partnership with PENSOLE, we are proud to support the next generation of global footwear designers that share our same passion for fresh thinking, creativity and style," said Patrick Walsh, vice president of marketing for Foot Locker North America. "With the launch of the ASICS 'Fresh Up' GEL-180, we're continuing to bring the latest and most innovative sneakers to Foot Locker customers in stores around the world."

The next PENSOLE x ASICS collab is expected to drop exclusively at Foot Locker in late 2018. Registration for the next "Fueling the Future of Footwear" Master Class will open this spring. For further information, opportunities and more, visit https://www.footlocker.com/pensole.
