ASICS x VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

Both ASICS and Vivienne Westwood share a long brand history of design and championed uniqueness - with quality, craftmanship and innovation at their core. This shared history and distinction to transcend the ordinary brought about this timely collaboration. The first two styles released earlier this year, were inspired by the early punk years of Vivienne Westwood – featuring the iconic Squiggle print. The 2nd release of three NEW LIMITED-EDITION styles under the ASICSTIGER line sees the exploration of a later period of Vivienne Westwood’s collections – looking to historical references through art and fashion – in particular paintings from the 18th century French artist François Boucher, first referenced in Vivienne Westwood’s seminal Autumn/Winter 1990 collection ‘Portrait’. _______________________________________________ ASICSTIGER X VIVIENNEWESTWOOD HyperGEL-LYTE™ RMB 1150 Referencing this period, the HyperGEL-LYTE™ sneaker is designed with the romantic rococo painting Daphnis & Chloe by the 18th century French artist François Boucher, printed on the body of the sneaker. The painting is housed at one of Vivienne’s favourite art galleries in London, The Wallace Collection. The overall celadon color appropriately restores the rich colors of the 18th-century oil painting, whilst the pewter shoelaces, bright orange tiger stripe, delicate embellishment of shoe buckle and the colorful orb logo on the shoe heel bring a modernist graphic look to the sneaker. “HyperGEL” compri
