MARK & LONA × ASICS: The New Era of Golf Shoes

The renowned golf apparel brand MARK & LONA, under Cube Co., Ltd., is set to introduce a special release that golf enthusiasts will not want to miss, the 'Tassel Striders' in collaboration with sports giant ASICS. Scheduled for a pre-launch at 11:00 AM on September 5, 2025, these golf shoes will be available in select stores including the MARK & LONA Aoyama store, Omotesando Hills store, and the Yokohama Takashimaya pop-up store, followed by a nationwide release on September 10, 2025.

Heritage Meets Modern Design

Tassel Striders is not just another golf shoe; it pays homage to ASICS' long-standing legacy with its roots embedded in the classic FABRE JAPAN S, a beloved basketball shoe introduced in 1981. This shoe has been evolved into a golf-centric version, marrying ASICS' extensive expertise in sports with MARK & LONA's unique design ethos to create a standout piece in any golfer’s kit.

The shoe's upper prominently displays the BLOCK logo embossed across, while each shoe features subtle motifs: a clover on one side (representing MARK) and a rose on the other (representing LONA). This nuanced design enhances the aesthetic without overwhelming the fundamental golfing functionality. Also featured is a detachable shoelace cover, which can protect against sand while adding a touch of flair with contrast green laces as an additional styling option.

Functional Excellence

Functionality is paramount in the design of Tassel Striders. It utilizes water-repellent artificial leather and is crafted specifically with golfers in mind. The shoe is designed to ensure excellent grip and stability on the course, featuring a specialized sole for optimum performance on grass. Moreover, cushioning throughout caters to long hours of play, although it should be noted that the entire design is not completely waterproof.

Tassel Striders not only prioritize comfort and performance but also exude an elegant style that is suitable for all genders. This unisex feature allows for versatility across varying personal styles and preferences, making it a go-to option regardless of gender distinctions in golf fashion.
