Editor’s Notes: Japanese companies ASICS and Capcom have come together for a collaborative footwear release celebrating beloved video game franchise, Rockman, known as Mega Man in the United States.

Referencing the titular character, Capcom's collaborative ASICS GEL-BND is showcased in a bold blue colorway, with 8-Bit-style branding. The upper of the sneaker is seemingly crafted from patent leather, while the Tiger Stripes on the side are reimagined with the 8-Bit treatment. The GEL-BND then comes with tonal laces.

The Capcom x ASICS GEL-BND is packaged in a custom box, mimicking retro Mega Man artwork. The sneaker is expected to release on November 1, alongside a range of matching apparel.
