The Gel-Stratus MC by emmi is the result of a collaboration between ASICS and emmi, the Japanese brand of casual and workout apparel that also includes the emmi atelier and emmi yoga lines.
The base is that of the standard model: the upper is based on the Gel-Stratus 4, an ASICS running shoe, with synthetic leather reinforcements over breathable mesh, while the midsole—featuring the same construction as the Gel-Jog MC—incorporates elements from running shoes of the past decade and houses GEL cushioning in the heel.
Emmi has streamlined the color scheme to a single hue: Brown Storm covers the mesh, reinforcements, and laces; thin cream-colored lines outline the ASICS stripes on the side; and the GEL window on the heel is hazelnut-colored, matching the rest of the upper.
