Evenings in Tokyo tend to blur tradition with modern design. atmos has long operated in that space, treating collaborations like cultural conversations. The best results usually arrive quietly rather than loudly.
That approach defines the atmos x ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 “Raden.” The concept draws from an ancient Japanese method that inlays mother-of-pearl into lacquer. On the sneaker, that idea appears through shimmering blue leather on the quarter and toe. The finish shifts as light moves across it.
Black mesh anchors the upper and keeps the look grounded. A glossy layer sits over the exposed GEL unit underfoot. The balance feels cleaner than earlier hybrid Kayano builds, pointing to a more refined direction for the model.
A raffle runs now through February 12th at atmos-tokyo.com. Retail for the atmos x ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 “Raden” is set at ¥28,600, roughly $185 USD before fees.
