FP Movement and ASICS: A Revolutionary Footwear Collaboration

This July, FP Movement, the celebrated activewear line from Free People, unveiled its inaugural footwear collaboration with global athletic brand ASICS. Designed especially for women who embrace movement, the limited-edition collection features two exclusive sneaker styles that seamlessly combine performance and style, perfect for daily activities or competitive sports.

Celebrating the Golden Hour

The collection is inspired by the enchanting 'golden hour,' a time celebrated for its soft lighting and beauty. The collaboration honors daily rituals such as morning runs or evening matches, encapsulating the moments that foster connection, confidence, and personal renewal. As twilight descends, women nationwide can rejoice in the comfort and aesthetics of footwear that reflect their unique lifestyles.

Innovative Designs and Features

The partnership presents two reimagined silhouettes from ASICS that marry functionality with fashion. The GEL-CHALLENGER® 15 tennis shoe showcases a chic paisley print, a hallmark of FP Movement, adding an element of individuality to the playing field. It’s designed with comfort and performance in mind, thanks to its plush heel collar and ASICS' WINGWALL™ technology, enhancing stability during lateral movements.

On the other hand, the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 running shoe, priced at $180, stands out with its vibrant sunset orange color. This model embodies a perfect balance of plush cushioning and contemporary style, ensuring all-day comfort while catering to runners and casual walkers alike. The innovative FF BLAST™PLUS midsole and PureGEL® technology provide the support needed for running distances, making them an integral part of any active lifestyle.

Two Dynamic Community Events

To foster community spirit, FP Movement is hosting the Golden Hour Community Run Series across New York City and Los Angeles. Participants in Los Angeles can look forward to a sunrise run where they will be led by campaign star Scout, followed by a wellness café experience. Meanwhile, the New York Dusk event promises a vibrant evening run with campaign star Bianca, featuring recovery sessions like red light therapy and specially curated beverages inspired by the golden hour.

A Partnership Fueled by Purpose

Andrea Perez, President of FP Movement, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, "There aren't many brands that have spent 75 years earning the trust of serious athletes the way ASICS has. This partnership is about honoring the time women dedicate to their health and enjoyment through movement." The event series aspires to inspire and connect women who view fitness as an essential part of their lives.

Cat Ayers, Vice President of Marketing for ASICS America expresses similar sentiments, highlighting this collaboration as a unique opportunity to blend ASICS' athletic heritage with FP Movement's community-driven ethos.

Availability of the Collection

The eagerly awaited FP Movement and ASICS collection will be available on FPMovement.com and in select stores including ASICS.com and select Dick’s Sporting Goods locations. Available starting July 7th, this limited-edition collection encourages women to make their movement experiences stylish and comfortable.
