japanese anime Bleach marks its 20th anniversary with an exciting collaboration with ASICS, featuring two distinct variants of the GT-2160 and GEL-NYC, each inspired by beloved characters from the series: Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abarai.

The ASICS GT-2160 pays homage to Ichigo Kurosaki, the courageous Soul Reaper and main character of Bleach. Its design embodies Ichigo’s iconic Shinigami aesthetic, featuring a bold color palette of black, white, orange, and red. The white mesh base features gray stripes and is accented with black suede overlays. Dynamic stripes of orange and red enrich the sneaker, creating a balanced yet striking look. A bright orange detail extends from the vamp to the off-white sole, harmoniously bringing the design together.

In contrast, the ASICS GEL-NYC pays homage to Renji Abarai, Ichigo’s loyal ally and lieutenant of the 6th Division. These sneakers feature a dynamic red and black color scheme, reflecting Renji’s fiery personality and striking red hair. The upper is crafted from smooth red suede, accented with gold overlays. A black suede completes the lace collar and tongue. On the heel, two symbols represent the 6th Division of the Gotei 13, giving a significant touch to the design.
