ASICS teams up with Hasbro for a capsule collection; “ASICS x TRANSFORMERS” that features apparel, sneakers and accessories.
The collaborative take on the sneaker is based on the updated 1993 model GEL – Lyte 5 which is reworked in a “3-in-1” way. The ASICS x Transformers comes in a base gray colour with interchangeable panels that covers the lacing portion. The left shoe features the Autobots logo in red, with the right shoe featuring the same logo in a Bumblebee-esque logo. The rear heel panels also compromise of similar elements with the faces of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron. Additional details include graphics from the original comics emblazoned on the shoe box and insole for a retro effect.
The apparel also plays on the conversion element with patches on the T-shirts, hoodies, cap and gym bag in which the components can be attached.
The capsule collection will be available tomorrow at selected ASICS retail and asics.com with the GEL-Lyte 5 retailing at RM499.
