Sneaker Politics is teaming up once again with ASICS, this time on a soulful GEL-K1011 “Live Oak” inspired by Louisiana’s enduring natural beauty. Following their memorable GEL-Kayano 14 “Just Say No” collab, this project dives deeper into storytelling rooted in community pride.
Originally revived through a Gallery Dept. partnership in 2024, the GEL-K1011 is an under-the-radar gem blending design DNA from the GEL-Kayano 5, 6, and 10, paired with a GEL-Cumulus 17 midsole for balanced comfort and structure.
Inspired by the state tree, the Live Oak, with its storied history of survival in both tempests and hardship, the color palette is a natural, earthy greens and browns on the textured suede and mesh upper, accented by cool blues and a sunny yellow that symbolizes rebirth. The combination of rugged textures and organic tones makes the “Live Oak” the most down-to-earth ASICS collab to date.
The Sneaker Politics x ASICS GEL-K1011 “Live Oak” releases October 18th, exclusively through Sneaker Politics both in-store and online for $170 USD.
