With its roots grounded in running and performance, Asics knows how to create a strong silhouette. The Japanese sportswear giant brings us banger after banger, and the Gel-Stratus MC is no exception.
The lifestyle shoe is inspired by the Gel-Stratus 4 running shoe, bringing elements from other 2010s running silhouettes on the midsole, using synthetic leather overlays, air mesh underlays and internal rearfoot Gel technology for ultimate comfort.
And it’s so versatile, it’s truly made for your entire friend group, no matter what aesthetic you have. Whether you’re a workwear kind of guy, Gorpcore enthusiast or a jeans man, the sneaker will work with your fit.
The Asics Gel-Stratus MC’s frosty-white colourway with the black and silver accents, can be a bright touch to our muted autumnal fits. When it comes to such a crisp-white shoe, you need to balance it out with some white in the rest of your fit. Jeremiah here has gone for a workwear-inspired look, wearing his pair with a beige utilitarian barrel-leg pant and a brown chore jacket layered over a white tee.
For jeans, opt for a looser fit like Bolade here, and style with an equally crisp-white long-sleeve tee to complement your white/grey Gel-Stratuses, and a statement puffer to add some dimension to your look.
Taylor’s picked out a more sporty look, matching the performance energy of the sneaker. He’s paired his white/grey colourway with technical drawstring trousers and a gingham shell jacket adds some character to an otherwise monochrome outfit.
