Asics has also created a totally new lineup of footwear. Aiming to capitalize on the worldwide interest in Japanese culture and Japanese materials, the company released the Kyoto Collection in 2004, featuring shoes with an upper made from an attractive brocade cloth. (Brocade is the general name given to fabric that is woven with a pattern of gold or silver threads or foil.) Ten thousand pairs were put on sale and soon sold out. For this collection, Asics teamed up with Bando Co., a wholesaler of a traditional type of Japanese fabric called Nishijin. Bando also provided the brocade that the warriors wore under their suits of armor in the film The Last Samurai. In January 2006, Asics came out with two new collections, Tai Chi Tigress and Marathon Tabi, which feature brocade with Japanese spring motifs. Tai Chi Tigress and Marathon Tabi shoes cost ¥13,650 ($119) a pair. A limited edition of 4,400 pairs were marketed globally, and they were so popular that soon after their release rumors began to circulate that it was difficult to get hold of them.Here's your last chance.Good luck.Thank you for visiting my store.
