An image floating around online suggests that there is a Bape x Asics sneaker coming soon.

The team up would mark the first time that these two entities worked together. Unfortunately, the above image showing a tongue with an Asics label and a bit of Bape's signature camouflage is the only one that exists at the moment. The close-up kind of obscures what silhouette this could be, although it doesn't appear to have the split-tongue of the Gel Lyte III, and the patch wouldn't be right for the Gel Lyte V, so the recently retroed Asics Gel Kayano Trainer is a possibility.

Sole Collector will provide updates on the possible Bape x Asics sneaker collaboration.

UPDATE: The below image from Sneaker Rumors confirms that the model is a BAPE x Asics Gel Kayano.
