I really like the futuristic look of the shoe. Whether I am in the gym, working in the studio or performing on stage, they are always on.”
Green Room were tasked with the design and development of the global, direct-to-consumer, retail campaign toolkit, in addition to creating the bespoke, campaign launch elements which have been rolled out in flagship stores across New York, Japan, London.
Chloe Maynard, Retail Design Project Lead, Green Room Amsterdam said: “The inspiration behind our toolkit lay in the distinctive pattern of the elongated hexagonal shape of the new Asics HyperGel technology, allowing us to create high impact and intrigue. In evolving this campaign across three flagship stores worldwide, we took the opportunity to push the design in terms of scale and customer engagement, we’re really pleased to see the New York 5th Avenue store capture such a literal translation of our design work.”
