Collaborations between sportswear and fashion brands have become increasingly common. This time, ASICS has partnered with Isa Boulder, an independent fashion label from Bali, Indonesia, to launch the new Crafts for Mind: ASICS HYPERSYNC collection. Reimagining a classic track shoe from the brand’s archives through Isa Boulder’s signature hand-knotted macramé technique, the collaboration transforms a shoe originally made for the track into a sculptural fashion piece.
A new take on the classic track shoe

This collaboration uses the silhouette of a classic ASICS track shoe from the brand’s archives as its foundation, retaining its streamlined shape and athletic roots while adding Isa Boulder’s signature macramé design. The shoe’s standout feature is its removable woven sock sleeve, hand-knotted from the upper up to the calf, making the footwear more than just something worn on the feet and part of the overall look.

Isa Boulder is an independent fashion label from Bali, Indonesia, centered on hand-weaving, knitwear, and the contours of the body. Drawing on traditional techniques such as macramé, it creates clothing and accessories that follow the body’s structure. The brand’s work often combines sheer materials, deconstructed tailoring, and traces of handwork, giving it a distinctive identity in fashion and making Isa Boulder one of the emerging labels to watch in recent years.

The project is officially named Crafts for Mind. Centered on handcraft and inspired by “Movement,” the collection uses intricate weaving techniques to reconsider the relationship between people, the body, clothing, and sport. It also views design as a form of self-expression, rather than simply an outward look.
