Capsules have taken pride in being the life and soul of sneaker culture from day one, a prime example for this residing within Nike’s ‘Ugly Duckling’ retro, the infamous ‘Weatherman’ pack that featured two Foamposite installments with an AF1 closely behind and a tri-colour Air Max 90 ‘Independence Day’ launch that not only saw sale racks, but the feet of Mr Kanye West.
Within these capsules, the occasional F’n’F or MEGA limited product managed to sneak in, perhaps a case of FOMO or riding our industry’s financial wave -- whatever the reason, it’s led to some truly incredible pairs raking infinite levels of interest from us as social media junkies. Now, we’re about to show you something a little different, something that simply does NOT come around all that often if at all… ready?
ASICS x McLaren 1990’s pit-crew EXCLUSIVE, this little number featured a GEL McLaren F1 and GEL McLaren MA-2 both draped in the racing team’s name-branding and iconic shades of red from head to toe.
Is this one of the rarest ASICS to ever grace our feed? Have a closer look!
Happy little pieces of content you MAY benefit from knowing:
One pair dons a neoprene sockliner-cross-oxidized sole combo, with yellowing glue stains adding attitude to an already fierce looking pit-shoe ready for action.
Both utilise a non-slip black outsole to provide substantial support for an upper clad in red, white and grey tones; typically this trio would be seen on boilersuits team-wide thus exemplifying McLaren’s unifying colour scheme.
At no point did this collaboration retail to the general public, meaning any potential pavement-side sightings would stem from one of circumstances; you’re in the presence of a McLaren pit-crew member, or more likely someone with luck on their side.
These dual-marked UNICORNS are actually part of MORPRIME’s 600+ personal collection, taking poll position in TOP 10 ranking without breaking stride.
