Double Tap to Zoom

At doublet's Spring/Summer 2026 presentation, Masayuki Ino's brand debuted a new ASICS sneaker collaboration that's even stranger than the last.

The brand's usual animal instincts are once again at play with the latest ASICS GEL-QUANTUM shoes. From the looks of it, the new sneakers feature reptilian patterns and even monstrous red eyes, resulting in a wild shoe that stares right back.

Funny enough, doublet's Paris Fashion Week presentation was even named "Strangest Comfort."

Imagine your favorite foods, now wearable, thanks to doublet. The brand debuted sunny-side-up sun hats and full-coverage zip-up hoodies made to look like banana peels (ripe and rotting versions included).

The brand's animalistic tendencies, evident in past collaborations and seasonal collections, continued with other pieces, such as a cow-print sweater that folded over the head to form a cow mask.

In addition to brand-new ASICS sneakers, doublet SS26 also unveiled extra spiky Converse sneakers and weird floppy boots.

Last fall, ASICS served up "cardboard" GEL-KAYANO 20 sneakers. Next spring, we're getting cold-blooded steppers.

It's strange. It's comfort. It's the strangest comfort, after all.
