Called "Vanilla," yet the colorway code reads Antique White/Antique White — the same word, twice. This VANDYTHEPINK x ASICS collab on the Gel-Kayano 12.1 skips the usual playbook of vibrant macaron hues and character graphics splashed across the upper. At least based on the official colorway info released so far, the entire shoe sits in a single cream-white tone, as if the most basic flavor from an ice cream truck got lifted straight onto the sneaker.
Nice Kicks' original coverage described this collaboration as having an "ice cream pastel colors and characters" vibe, but going by the actual colorway name announced, the visual focus clearly isn't on color-blocking — it's about building depth within a single tone. This also makes it one of the rare times Vandy has been willing to hold back in recent ASICS collabs.
The style code is 1203B302-100, dropping on ASICS' official site at asics.com, priced at $195. Worth noting: the source materials show two different release dates — one lists August 14, 2025, while another says August 14, 2026. The actual date will be whatever ASICS officially confirms.
