is finally dropping!! We opened our account last year, but as we have to buy 6 months in advance we've had to wait a VERY long 6 months for stock to begin to land.

Pictured above are

1) Women's Gel-Nimbus 28.
2) Women's Gel-Cumulus 28.
3) Men's Gel-Cumulus 28.
4) Women's Gel-Kayano 33.
5) Men's Gel-Kayano 33.

We're waiting on the Men's Gel-Nimbus 28 to arrive this week, along with the Trabuco, and then we look forward to the launch of the Novablast 6, very soon!!

Its a big moment for us, where for 3 years we've had to turn customers away who are dedicated to the Asics brand. But now we can serve them!

More to follow this year and our order for 2027 is already in too!!!
