Japanese sister brands Onitsuka Tiger and Asics link up with Scotland’s number one footwear destination Hanon, to unveil an exclusive collaboration in the Glover Pack.
Following the brands recent collaborative venture with UK franchise Offspring, they now turn their attention to Hanon and us their home town of Aberdeen as inspiration for their latest collection. Paying homage to Aberdeenshire’s very own Samurai, legendary explorer and national hero – Thomas Blake Glover, the trio come together to present two new designs in Asics Gel-Epirus and Onitsuka Tiger’s Colorado Eighty-Five.
The Asics Gel-Epirus takes cues from Glover’s scottish roots and the thistle, Scotland’s national emblem. Arriving in a mint green suede and purple nubuck leather mix for the upper, the shoe features patriotic detailing with the red quilted collar lining and tartan in-sock, as well as the thistle emblem on the heel.
The Colorado Eighty-Five from Onitsuka Tiger takes inspiration from Glover’s adopted home of Japan, again making use of suede and nubuck on the upper with a perforated toe box and synthetic overlays. The shoe comes in a black and yellow colour way, with speckled detailing around the lace stay. Additional features include an embossed moustache logo on the heel and tea inspired insoles.
The limited edition Onitsuka Tiger X Asics X Hanon Glover Pack is available exclusively in-store and online at Hanon from Saturday the 27th of September.
