Temptation Vacation Invites You To Welcome The Journey With
ASICS Sportstyle GEL-DS TrainerTM 14 Collaboration
Temptation Vacation is thrilled to announce its debut collaboration with ASICS Sportstyle on the GEL-DS TrainerTM 14.
Inspired by the notion that a vacation's never as far away as you think – the collaboration is a reminder to blur the lines of work and rest, relish both pleasure and ease, slow down and let go.
Curating an authentic yet refreshed take on the GEL-DS TrainerTM 14, the design is reminiscent of weekends spent along Australia’s coastline. Invoking the essence of the Australian beach – sand between your toes, a beautiful sunset – the colour palette features sandy, earthy hues throughout the mesh upper, laces and quarter-panel design. Accents of forest green on the upper nod to Australia’s vast and renowned bush landscapes, while a striking blue midsole and inner sole reflect the sea.
The construction features a combination of mixed materials, from the simplicity of canvas to the luxury of leather. This intentional blending of varying textures represents the diversity of vacation experiences on offer across Australia’s diverse terrain.
The GEL-DS Trainer 14TM – a lightweight and cushioned silhouette designed for movement, for effortless transitions, for taking life at your own pace – keeps comfort at the forefront, seeing the model fitted with a TRUSSTICTM support unit for stability and rearfoot GELTM technology for impact absorption, offering ultimate comfort in a timeless design.
The Temptation Vacation x GEL-DS TrainerTM 14 will be available from May 25th at Temptation Vacation, ASICS Australia and select retail stores for $220 AUD. An exclusive apparel capsule designed for the collaboration will be released exclusively via Temptation Vacation on May 25th. The sneakers will launch globally via a wider release at select retailers including KITH, Dover Street Market, and END. on May 30th.

About Temptation Vacation
Temptation Vacation was co-founded by Ed Hatcher and Grace Olivia Roberts in 2020. Based in Gold Coast, Australia, Hatcher and Roberts are inspired by the notion that a vacation isn’t just a destination, it’s a mindset, in pauses claimed, it’s appreciating your surroundings. As a result, the brand focuses on limited, high quality capsules of apparel and accessories designed to equip you for any vacation whether it’s travelling across the world, or sitting right where you are.
A statement from Ed and Grace: “As people who have been wearing ASICS for the last 20 or so years, we couldn’t be happier to take our relationship with the brand to the next level. The mix of comfort and fun ASICS brings to footwear perfectly suits our styles: something you can wear for a cruisy day, or as a statement piece, but always in comfort. Our collaboration is an authentic extension of this.”
