ASICS Mix Speed & Style With New Range

ASICS RoadHawk FF everyday trainers let runners satisfy their sport and lifestyle needs

Most people would not expect to wear their favorite shirt or best pair of jeans when they are out for a jog. Just as they probably would not turn up for an evening out with friends in their running kit. But when it comes to footwear, combining sports life and everyday life just became easier, and more affordable than ever.

 

New ASICS RoadHawk FF are the brand’s latest addition to its performance running line-up. Because they combine top technical running benefits with a fresh, youthful design, they are equally at home on a jog in the park as they are strolling the streets. And all at a very competitive price point.

On the technical side, a half Mono-Sock with seamless engineered mesh wraps around the foot for a snug, supportive fit while the Ortholite sockliner provides superior cushioning and is quick-drying. That keeps the wearer feeling supported, dry, and comfortable throughout their run. The trainers also feature ASICS’ revolutionary full-length FlyteFoam midsole, which is about 55% lighter than industry standard midsoles. This offers runners superior cushioning, high shape retention and an exhilarating sense of speed.

 

Kenji Oh, Marketing Director Asia says: “Hear the word ASICS and most people probably think of high quality running shoes. But we also understand that not every person chooses a trainer just for sport. That is why ASICS RoadHawk FF are designed to feel fast, responsive and comfortable on a run AND be stylish enough to wear during everyday life. We are excited to introduce a shoe that proves that speed and style do mix.”

 

 

ASICS RoadHawk FF are available to buy now ASICS stores and select running specialty stores. They cost RM 399 a pair.

 

In addition, runners can also choose from ASICS’ accompanying range of performance men’s and women’s apparel from the LITE-SHOW Apparel Collection. This includes stylish, breathable tops and bottoms as well as comfortable running socks.

Asics's Urban-Inspired Footware

ASICS INSPIRES A NEW GENERATION OF ACTIVE YOUTH THROUGH IMMERSIVE RUNNING EXPERIENCE

 

Signature event brought together communities, new products, and a once-in-a-lifetime urban adventure

 

ASICS hosted a first-of-its-kind immersive event in downtown Los Angeles on 27 January 2017 with over 50 influencers and media from around the globe to celebrate the launch its of its urban-inspired footwear – fuzeX Rush and GEL-QUANTUM 360 KNIT.

 

The Big Chase: An Immersive Experience

 

Combining physical fitness and street smarts, ‘The Big Chase’ event was an interactive urban adventure run that put participants in the role of old-school L.A. detectives. The story took the budding detectives through the streets in hot pursuit of a mysterious stranger, overcoming obstacles and unraveling clues on a high-octane chase through downtown L.A. to rescue a Hollywood starlet. Runners tracked down leads at an eclectic collection of locations including the Roxie Theatre, Dutch Chocolate Shop and The Majestic Downtown, where they encountered characters straight out of a classic suspense film. 

 

The event kicked off on Friday with a VIP reception that gave fitness and lifestyle influencers a sneak peek at ASICS newest initiatives to expand its brand beyond performance running. Attendees came from all over the world, including France, Japan, and Australia. ASICS Corporation’s Senior General Manager, Global Marketing Division, Paul Miles was also present to welcome the group.

“The new generation of ASICS consumers are more creative, more social and more adventurous. Fitness today should be fun and spark a sense of community. The Big Chase event brings that to life on a grand scale,” said Miles.

 

ASICS dove further into the urban landscape through street art, launching an ASICS-original mural by local artist Christopher Konecki on 247th street in downtown LA, created for influencers and media to encounter during a run the following morning. 

SMSB Global Community Headlines the Event

 

The Big Chase event was led by members of SMSB, a global community with a shared philosophy and holistic approach to a life well-lived through sport.

 

Launching in six major cities globally in 2017, each SMSBTM chapter aims to bring together 16 sport enthusiasts and creative influencers representing a wide range of backgrounds, including photographers, yoga instructors, designers and runners. 

“The acronym and trademark SMSB stands for ‘Sound Mind, Sound Body’ and represents a philosophy and ASICS trademark that I am very passionate about and personally vested in,” said Charlie Dark, SMSB Global Ambassador. “Helping ASICS expand their brand beyond performance is truly an honor.”

 

Paul Miles also praised the collaboration: “With the growth of the movement around the world, ASICS is excited to work with SMSB, embrace founding principles, and inspire a new generation to pursue a better life through sport.”

 

Versatile Products for Urban Youth

 

The event highlighted ASICS’ latest footwear—the fuzeX Rush and GEL-QUANTUM 360 KNIT models. Inspired by the aesthetics of the urban landscape, the products deliver versatility and style to urban adventurers, backed by the human-centric science of ASICS R&D.

 

The fuzeX Rush model is a no-frills, performance shoe designed for the wide-ranging urban explorer. The legacy of this shoe lies in the cushioned midsole which offers a lightweight, responsive ride. The GEL-QUANTUM 360 KNIT model is a shoe for the active urbanite ready to level up their footwear with 360° degrees of advanced ASICS GEL technology.

 

The Big Chase event and the SMSB Crew’s role in the immersive launch of the fuzeX Rush and GEL-QUANTUM 360 KNIT models represent a key milestone for ASICS within the evolving running community — bringing together product quality, creativity and community to inspire a new generation.

 

The fuzeX Rush model will be available for men and women at ASICS online stores and select running outlets worldwide and in Malaysia from February 2017, and the GEL-QUANTUM 360 KNIT model from March 2017. The fuzeX Rush will retail for RM429 a pair while the GEL-QUANTUM 360 KNIT will retail for RM699 per pair.
