(di)vision x ASICS Crafts for Mind: Finding Beauty in the Broken

Good collaborations make sense – great collaborations mean something. Teaming up with ASICS, luxury label (di)vision has upcycled twenty pairs of unique sneakers for charity with ASICS’ Crafts For Mind initiative. Brought to life using the GEL-NIMBUS™ 9 and EX89, each pair was featured in (di)vision’s internet-breaking AW23 runway show, remember THAT viral dress moment?
Building on (di)vision’s creative heritage of upcycling disparate materials and ASICS’ motto, this unique collection tells a story, it asks us to find the beauty in things we see as broken. It is an honest acknowledgment of the scars our past can leave, but more importantly, it celebrates the growth and life that can come after. We can always get back on track - we just need to give ourselves the time.

All profits from the launch will go to Right To Play, a global organization that protects, educates, and empowers children to rise above poverty by harnessing the power of sport. Right to Play supports 2.35 million children every year in some of the most volatile regions in the world, helping them to stay in school, resist exploitation and heal from the trauma of war. Through the power of play, children learn the critical skills needed to dismantle barriers and embrace the life ahead of them.
Each pair from the collection has been given the 90s treatment with a gorgeous natural dye bath, subtle elements of distressing, and upcycled fat laces. Dropping the cherry on top, custom (di)vision branding pops throughout with each box bound in an upcycled bandana.
