Asics is Adding Pink and Blue Sky Shades to a Foot Locker Exclusive Asics Collection

The wonders of the natural world often bring the best inspiration for sneaker colorways. From Salehe Bembury’s hiking-inspired New Balance grails to the latest Oregon Ducks Air Max PE, and a collab pair inspired by the Louisiana foliage from Sneaker Politics and Asics last year, Earth’s majesty is full of perfect color combos. For its latest collection of Foot Locker exclusives, Asics is looking to the sky, adding pairs in radiant shades of blue and pink.

The Asics Radiant Skies Collection features three pairs of the Gel-Cumulus 16 and a pair of Gel-1130. The pack starts with two pairs in white mesh, a Gel-Cumulus 16 in men’s sizing, and the Gel-1130 in women’s sizing. Both pairs feature a base of white mesh and silver structural accents. On the Cumulus 16, a gradient blend on the side panel logo starts with pink at the heel and evolves to blue as it moves towards the toe. The Gel-1130 adds splashes of the same colors, but with sparkling pink on the toe and lace panels and blue hits on the logo.

On the other two pairs of Gel-Cumulus 16, Asics keeps things separated along gender reveal party lines, decking out a men’s pair in a full coat of baby blue and a women’s colorway in a pale pink dip. Both colorways are summer-ready and will no doubt draw attention.

The Asics Radiant Skies Collection will be released March 28, 2026 exclusively through Foot Locker and Champs Sports in-store and online. The retail prices for the collection are set at $150 for the Gel-Cumulus 16s and $110 for the Gel-1130. To keep up with all the latest Asics news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
