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.
