Bodega’s Latest Asics Collaboration Comes With Vietnamese Coffee a Custom Stanley Camp Mug

Bodega is closing out 2024 with another Asics collaboration.

Coming off the heels of its successful “Small Wins Add Up” Gel-Kayano 20 release in September, the retailer has once again teamed up with Asics to give the aforementioned silhouette another new look. According to Bodega, the retailer got the go-ahead to drop “a small run” of the Gel-Kayano 20 in an alternate colorway that was “initially workshopped during the design phase” of the previous release.

The result is the Bodega x Asics Gel-Kayano 20 “Friends & Family.”

The mixed-material uppers were executed in brown and beige hues, and several green tones were used throughout, including neon green on the collars and laces and a forrest green in the Gel cushioning technology. Hits of blue also appear throughout.

What’s more, this collaboration comes with both a bag of Vietnamese coffee from Nguyen Coffee Supply and a custom Stanley Camp Mug. “Here’s to brewing up success in small batches, which in our opinion is what our time on this spherical track is all about,” Bodega said in a statement.

The Bodega x Asics Gel-Kayano 20 “Friends & Family” arrives Dec. 27 at 12 p.m. ET via Bdgastore.com. It retails for $180.

And if you’re still interested in picking up a pair of the Bodega x Asics Gel-Kayano 20 “Small Wins Add Up” collaboration, they can be found on the secondary market. For instance, StockX has pairs available now ranging in price from $105 to $290.
