ASICS SportStyle Malaysia announced the return of the SKYHAND™ OG sneaker, for the first time since 1994, at The Gasket Alley, Petaling Jaya, featuring a complete takeover of the venue, decked out in ASICS’ tones with informative pop-ups about the SKYHAND™ OG.
The newly-launched sneaker is based on the original design DNA of the SKYHAND™ handball shoes, but updated for everyday lifestyles, featuring modern materials and cushioning properties.
The shoe retains its traditionally slim and low-profile aesthetic. For this reimagined version, the ASICS design team updated the tooling with FLYTEFOAM™ PROPEL cushioning and an EVA heel wedge. The application helps provide a modern comfort experience while preserving the shoe’s minimalist design DNA.
The shoes will launch in two different material iterations for their first season in the ASICS SportStyle lineup. One will feature an upper construction that halos the original design from 1994, featuring synthetic leather paneling that’s offset with suede details on the eyestay. The other iteration consists of a primarily suede makeup that’s paired with synthetic leather ASICS Stripes and heel tabs.
The SKYHAND™ OG sneakers are now available both online at ASICS SportStyle Malaysia and in stores, priced at RM449. For more information, visit https://www.asics.com/my/en-my/.
