VitroRobertson x Asics | World’s Largest Lite-Brite

San Diego-based advertising agency, VitroRobertson and their client ASICS®, a performance athletic footwear and apparel company has officially been awarded the Guinness World Record for the Largest Lite-Brite ever constructed.

The record setting light-installation was inspired by the original Hasbro Lite-Brite toy that was hugely popular during the late 1960’s. The piece was constructed using 347,004 Lite-Brite colored pegs, creating a replica of the ASICS GEL-Lyte III™ trainer: albeit a 9 feet tall by 14 feet wide version that eclipsed the previous Lite-Brite world record of 5’ X 10’.

In 2009, the world’s largest Lite-Brite will be touring the country, traveling to concerts, parties and events like the Summer X-Games, The MTV Music Awards and Lollapalooza.

Patta x Asics Gel Lytespeed Pack | Elms, Delta, Parra

A couple of years ago Amsterdam based store Patta put Asics back onto the sneaker map with their collaboration. Today we present you their upcoming collaboration project with Asics and three of the most respected artists in this culture – Eric Elms, Delta and Parra.

They worked on the Gel Lytespeed with Asics in three colorways on the exterior. The influence and work of the respective artists only becomes apparent when looking at the interior of the sneakers. The Delta sneaker comes in black, the Elms sneaker in purple and the Parra sneaker in red.

They once again managed to create a fantastic line-up of sneakers. Nothing too heady on the exterior, but strong color combinations with all the details on the interior. The white mid sole gives the sneakers a clean finish. You can be sure that these will be gone fast.

Additional goodies coming along with the pack, as well as other retailers that will be getting it, will be announced soon. The pack will be released at Patta on January 31rst.
