Collaboration is at the heart of HAY. We align ourselves with the world by looking around and seeking references in art, architecture, and fashion. From working with artists, designers, and manufacturers from around the world to our latest collaboration with world-renowned Japanese sportswear brand ASICS, every product born from this collaborative process combines the best of both worlds.

With this in mind, the ASICS x HAY collaboration takes the iconic SKYHAND OG shoe, released in 1994, from the ASICS archives and reimagines it through HAY's aesthetic sensibility and color perspective. This collaboration also includes an ASICS x HAY LOGO BAG featuring the brand logo to match the shoe.

The ASICS x HAY collaboration is driven by a shared commitment to creating functional, modern products for everyday use. Inspired by HAY's philosophy of creating high-quality products for the everyday, and ASICS' interest in body and mind movement, the collaboration promotes healthy living by combining honest design with comfort.

The shoes are available in three colorways: soft pink, soft blue, and emerald green, carefully selected by HAY co-founder Mette HAY. The color-blocked design and accent details reference HAY's OUTLINE PYJAMA (released in 2023), whose timeless appeal lends a contemporary feel to the reinterpreted SKYHAND OG. In keeping with HAY's core philosophy of bringing quality design to the masses, ASICS has redeveloped the SKYHAND OG using advanced technology and premium materials for maximum comfort. It features FLYTE foam in the forefoot for a comfortable stride and EVA foam in the heel for added cushioning. The upper (excluding the sole) is made of suede and leather, with the ASICS and HAY collaborative logo discreetly engraved on the heel and tongue.

Mette HAY, Creative Director of HAY Accessories, commented, "At HAY, we draw inspiration from life and create high-quality, affordable products that meet the changing needs of everyday life. Our ambition for our products is to enhance everyday moments at home and on the go. ASICS is a brand that aligns with HAY's core philosophy of designing high-quality products for everyone, and we believe this collaboration is a great opportunity to expand into the outdoor realm."
