Ubiq x Asics GT Cool – Nightshade – Jul 2014 – H43BK8090

Description

Per Ubiq: Very much like our last Asics collab, the Midnight Blooms, the Nightshade represents our admiration for mother nature and our affinity for the dark hours. But you see, it goes much deeper than that. Nightshades are a family of plants, many of which are highly toxic, used throughout the Middle Ages as medicines, poisons and hallucinogens. Its name is a derivation from the Old English nihtscada meaning unrecorded night, supposedly referring to its narcotic effects. We get the same way when it comes to our own sneakers. One minute were given the cads to work on an Asics silhouette, the next thing you know were waking up on our desks with a full-color GT Cool silhouette in our hands, no recollection of how we got there. We may or may not have been under the influence when we designed this, we cant really remember.
