Temptation Vacation is proud to unveil its debut collaboration with ASICS: a fresh take on the iconic GEL-DS Trainer 14
. Inspired by the idea that a vacation is never as far away as you think, this design encourages a blend of work and rest — a reminder to slow down, enjoy the moment, and move at your own pace.
Before we talk about the sneakers, let’s talk about who — or what — Temptation Vacation is. Founded by Ed Hatcher and Grace Olivia Roberts in 2020, Temptation Vacation is based on the Gold Coast and built on the idea that a vacation is a mindset — a way of seeing and appreciating the world around you. The brand offers limited, high-quality apparel and accessories designed for life’s everyday escapes.
draws from laid-back weekends along Australia’s coastline. Sandy, earthy tones on the mesh upper and laces evoke the beach, while forest green accents and a bold blue sole nod to Australia’s bushland and sea. A mix of canvas and leather adds texture, representing the diversity of landscapes and experiences across the country.
drops May 25th at Temptation Vacation, ASICS Australia, and select retailers for $220 AUD. An exclusive apparel capsule will also be available via Temptation Vacation. Global release follows May 30th at KITH, Dover Street Market, and END.
