Okay, so I’ve been seeing the Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS collabs popping up everywhere, and honestly, I was intrigued. I’m not usually one to jump on hype trains, but the designs looked so unique, and I wanted to see if they lived up to the buzz.
Getting My Hands on a Pair
First things first, I had to actually find a pair. These things sell out fast. I wasn’t about to pay crazy resale prices, so I started monitoring a few online stores and sneaker groups. I spent a good few evenings just refreshing pages, waiting for restocks or * felt very intense.
- I stalked so many online shops it wasn’t even funny.
- Joined a couple of sneaker groups on social media – those guys are serious!
- Set up email alerts, which, honestly, mostly just spammed me.
Eventually, I got lucky! One of the stores I was following announced a small restock. I jumped on it immediately, fingers crossed, and managed to snag a pair of the GEL-Kiril, the first type I really like. It was a rush, I’m not gonna lie.
Unboxing and First Impressions
When the box finally arrived, I was pretty excited. I carefully opened it. The shoes were even more striking in person. The color blocking, the textures, the weird lacing system – it all just worked.
I slipped them on, and the first thing I noticed was the comfort. I’d heard mixed things about the sizing – some people said to go half a size up, others said they were true to size. I went with my usual size, and thankfully, they fit perfectly. Whew!
Wearing Them Out and About
I’ve been wearing these shoes pretty regularly for the past few weeks, you know just to the shops, to the park, to the gym.
- Comfort: Seriously, these are some of the most comfortable sneakers I own. I can walk around in them all day with no problems.
- Style: They definitely turn heads. I’ve gotten a few compliments and questions about them, which is always fun.
- Durability:So far, so good. They seem pretty well-made, and they’re holding up well to everyday wear.
I even tried them out for a short run, just to see how they’d perform. They’re not really designed for running, but they felt surprisingly supportive and responsive.
Final Thoughts
Honestly,I get the hype now. I will keep weaing them in my daily * Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS collabs are more than just trendy sneakers. They’re well-designed, comfortable, and definitely stand out from the crowd. If you can get your hands on a pair, I’d say go for it! Just be prepared for a bit of a hunt.
