New York's Extra Butter's ASICS Death List 5 collab Pack has had the sneakerheads frothing with the staggered drop of 5 reptile related takes on cult ASICS silhouettes. Only a determined and committed sneakerhead would have any hope of visiting the store and walking away with a pair the day after their release, but in Duncan from Sydney, you're not talking about your average sneaker lover.
As an architect Duncan is fascinated by function and form working together.
As a keen runner he has embraced barefoot and 'free running' technology (a current peak in function meets form shoe design) but a foot injury saw him unable to wear shoes, and this proved to be a catalyst for his leisure shoe wearing. He has embraced being the only person at work who isn't a slave to the suit and shoe brigade, as instead, Duncan wears bright, bold and dynamic footwear that his colleagues and clients seem to be lapping up.
He works hard to make sure his shoe stash includes sought after pieces and his Extra Butter x ASICS Death List 5 Gel Lyte 3 'Copperhead' came from a plucky pick up in New York, as Duncan, like the namesake snake proved to be a slippery character to land these ASICS joints.
On holiday in NY, he visited the Extra Butter store the day after the shoe's launch. As an architect he cunningly devised this cunning plan to stand tall and avoid the crowds, and in slipping away from the competition was able to simply get a pair. He asked. They had them. He made the purchase. Easy.
A big sneaker lover, a fan of function and form, and a man committed to getting the shoes he wants. Respect.
