Nature Bathing takes its name from shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of spending unhurried time among trees, and ASICS has returned to the idea across several seasons. The pack renders existing running silhouettes in neutral tones drawn from outdoor environments, with contrasting two-tone laces, heel taping and sockliners marked with the kanji for tree and forest. Its road-to-trail members use a flexible rubber outsole intended to work on and off pavement. The shoe carrying it here is the twenty-fourth Cumulus, the generation that moved to a full-length FlyteFoam Blast midsole and added forefoot stack while holding weight around ten ounces, the largest step the model had taken in several years. Papaya against the pack's muted base is the one bright note in a collection otherwise built entirely around calm.
