Last year, NFL star Stefon Diggs teamed up with Asics to create a lifestyle-focused collaboration, departing from the brand's traditional performance-driven designs. This partnership has now yielded its first sneaker, with Diggs unveiling the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 on his social media.
The Stefon Diggs x Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 pays homage to the athlete's close relationships, featuring personalized details such as a friendship bracelet-inspired pull tab with beads spelling out "Friends." Predominantly white and silver in color, the sneaker also incorporates subtle accents of lavender and yellow. The right tongue boasts a custom badge with the word "Family" and three figures representing Diggs and his two brothers, one of whom also plays in the NFL.
Adding to the sneaker's exclusivity, an additional panel on the heel indicates that this model is one of only 250 units produced, likely making it available only to Diggs' inner circle of friends and family.
The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 is set to launch in July as an updated version of the brand's 2008 running shoe.
The well-known NFL player, Stefon Diggs, who was recently transferred from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans, is widely recognized as one of the league's most fashion-conscious athletes. He is often seen attending fashion events and has even launched his own clothing line, Liem Homme, just this year.
Details regarding the release of the Stefon Diggs x Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 collaboration are currently unavailable, but updates will be provided as more information becomes known.
