Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS Gessirit 1022A196 Black Women's Lifestyle Shoes

• Gessirit Silhouette: A distinctive women's model associated with the ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov Studio collaboration.
• Low-Profile Construction: The thin sole and close-to-ground shape create a very different look from chunky ASICS runners.
• Adjustable Strap System: Multiple hook-and-loop straps provide both visual structure and adjustable lockdown.
• O-Ring Hardware: Metallic rings add an industrial, fashion-forward element to the upper.
• Mesh & Textile Panels: Soft textile sections are combined with structured overlays throughout the design.
• Glossy Black Finish: Patent-style black sections create contrast against the darker matte mesh panels.
• Rubber Sole: A low-profile rubber outsole supports everyday lifestyle wear.

Women's Gessirit Project

The original Gessirit appeared through the women's side of the ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov creative partnership.

Experimental Shape

Instead of following a conventional running-shoe structure, the Gessirit uses a low-profile form with layered straps, exposed hardware and technical paneling.

Fashion-Led Construction

Its combination of sportswear materials and unconventional proportions gives the silhouette a fashion-oriented identity rather than a traditional performance-running focus.

Adjustable Velcro Straps

Published Gessirit specifications describe an adjustable hook-and-loop strap system across the upper.

Metal O-Rings

Circular metal hardware creates the distinctive technical look associated with the model.

Secure Fit

Multiple adjustment points allow the upper to be tightened or relaxed according to personal preference.

Mesh Sections

Textile mesh panels add visible texture and help soften the technical structure of the upper.

Glossy Overlays

The photographed black version uses glossy overlays around the straps, heel and forefoot for a high-contrast monochrome finish.

Layered Construction

Multiple panels overlap around the foot, producing the complex architectural character associated with the Gessirit.

HYPEKIXK Product Color

This photographed pair is predominantly Black with charcoal textile and metallic hardware details.

Gloss & Matte Contrast

Glossy black overlays sit against darker matte fabric panels to create depth without introducing strong secondary colors.

SEO Accuracy Note

The photographed box only states 1022A196 and does not show an official ASICS color suffix.

Verified original Gessirit catalog records include 1022A196-250 Dark Taupe / Sheet Rock and 1022A196-400 Heritage Blue. Therefore this listing does not invent an unsupported ASICS black suffix.

Base Model Code

The supplied packaging clearly identifies the model as GESSIRIT 1022A196.

Verified Original Variants

ASICS archive references identify the original Gessirit under style family 1022A196, including 1022A196-250 and 1022A196-400.

No Invented Black Suffix

Because no original black suffix is shown on the supplied box and I could not verify one from reliable catalog sources, the recommended listing code is simply 1022A196.

The Gessirit was originally presented as a women's model, while the photographed packaging also provides equivalent men's and women's US sizing.

All Black

Pair with black trousers, cargos or technical pants for a full monochrome look.

Grey

Charcoal and light grey pieces complement the metallic and textile details of the upper.

Wide-Leg Trousers

Relaxed trousers work particularly well with the low, elongated proportions of the Gessirit.

Technical Streetwear

Nylon pants, layered tops and technical outerwear complement the industrial strap-and-hardware design.

Mesh & Textile

Use a soft brush or lightly damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dust.

Glossy Overlays

Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaning tools that may scratch the finish.

Metal Hardware

Keep O-rings and metal components dry after cleaning to reduce unnecessary surface wear.

Do Not Machine Wash

Machine washing may affect the layered upper, hardware, adhesives and shoe shape.

Air Dry

Allow the shoes to dry naturally in a ventilated area away from strong heat and direct sunlight.

Yes. Retail and archive references identify the Gessirit as part of the ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov Studio project.

Is “Hypersync” the official model name?

No reliable ASICS catalog source reviewed identifies the Gessirit as “Hypersync.” For accurate SEO, this page uses Gessirit.

Is this officially a black ASICS colorway?

The photographed product is black, but the supplied box does not provide an official ASICS color suffix. Therefore Black is used as the HYPEKIXK listing color.
