The ASICS GT-2160 fuses performance running design with anime storytelling, created in celebration of the 20th anniversary of BLEACH. This collaboration channels the energy and presence of Ichigo Kurosaki through bold color blocking and character-driven details.
The upper features a white mesh base layered with black synthetic leather overlays along the toe, eyestays, and heel—mirroring Ichigo’s Shinigami attire. Orange and red accents highlight the ASICS stripes and collar, symbolizing his fiery spirit and transformation moments. On the lateral side of the left shoe, Ichigo’s name appears in Japanese characters, reinforcing the authentic anime connection, while his Hollow mask skull logo is stamped on the heel for a distinctive fan-focused touch.
Underfoot, the GT-2160 maintains its performance roots with a cushioned midsole and stable platform built for comfort and everyday wear. Released on December 27, 2024, with a retail price of $145, this special edition blends athletic innovation with cultural homage—making it a standout for both sneaker enthusiasts and anime collectors alike.
