Fashion finds
ASICS
To celebrate the 20th iteration of the Gel-Nimbus series, the Japanese footwear brand has launched a new edition of its most popular long-distance shoe, the Gel-Nimbus 20 ($259).
The lightest model in Gel-Nimbus history, the Gel-Nimbus 20 is the leading cushioning model made for the runner in everyone.
Featuring the new gradient jacquard mesh structure, the shoe is designed with strategic 3D-printed overlays that wrap and support the foot throughout a run.
The combination of its patented FlyteFoam midsole inserts with Gel technology gives the Gel-Nimbus 20 superior cushioning, shock absorption and a lightweight feel.
The shoe is available at all Asics stores and counters here.
CASIO
The Japanese electronics company has released a specially designed G-Shock - the DW-6900CB-1CNY18 ($229) - to commemorate the incoming Year of the Dog. A stylised canine is rendered starkly in gold on black, and the colour palette is mirrored throughout the timepiece for a sophisticated alternative to the reds that typically dominate Chinese New Year.
Like every other G-Shock, the DW-6900CB-1CNY18 is built on a platform of toughness honed over the past 35 years.
Shock-resistance aside, the watch is waterproof to 200m and comes with a myriad of functions such as the chronograph, countdown alarm and world time display, making it a reliable companion wherever one may be - just like the dog. The DW-6900CB-1CNY18 is available at G-Factory outlets islandwide.
