The ASICS GT-2160 COSTS Shao Ji is a collaboration between ASICS and Chinese label COSTS on the GT-2160 runner, built around a muted earth-toned palette with layered technical overlays. Buy it if you want a version of the GT-2160 that most people in the US will not have seen, at a price well under the usual collab premium.
The upper mixes mesh with suede and synthetic overlays in taupe and grey, with co-branded detailing on the tongue and heel. Underneath is the standard GT-2160 platform, GEL cushioning in the heel and a Trusstic midfoot shank, so it holds up as a real walking and travel shoe rather than a display pair.
Best for people already into the ASICS side of sneakers who want something outside the mainline colorways, and for anyone chasing collabs that have not been picked over yet. These fit true to size with a roomy toe box.
Every pair from Common Hype is 100% authenticity guaranteed and inspected in house before it ships. We have one pair remaining in size 9, and it ships same or next business day from our Tempe, Arizona warehouse, not from a third-party seller network.
