Asics Gel Venture RE Shoes

The Asics Gel Venture RE Shoes give a deconstructed look to trail friendly model the Venture RE takes inspiration from.

The shoe is largely modeled after the trail-friendly GEL-Venture 6, giving it a chunkier build with a bevy of add-ons, like small details borrowed from the GEL-Kayano Trainer. The result is a functional, all-encompassing lifestyle silhouette that’s embellished with deconstructed elements.

Made with a mix of materials like mesh, suede, nylon and rubber that offers a dynamic range of contrasting textures. Starting at the top of the silhouette is a woven “ASICS” logo that’s been sewn over a deconstructed tongue.

The shoe comes with round laces looped through a long ripstop panel at the upper quarter as well as a rubber ASICS side stripe overlay that doubles as an eyelet panel.

Below the batted nylon collars is a suede-tinged heel counter, matching the material of the toecap — the toebox has been given a breathable mesh base. All of these details sit atop a slightly arched midsole that’s been optimized with ASICS’ essential GEL cushioning technology, allowing the shoe to pack on some serious mileage.
