As digital experiences continue to evolve and attract increasing amounts of our attention, ASICS aims to use digital goods to inspire real-world physical activity and continue helping people achieve a sound mind in a sound body.

Building on future technological advancements, ASICS seeks to support balanced and healthy lifestyles by building connections between digital and physical activities.

ASICS SUNRISE RED™ NFT COLLECTION owners will automatically unlock access to 3D models (OBJ files) and textures (PNG files) for the digital shoe they own.

These files can be used for rendering and animation to create new works of art or to outfit avatars in the Metaverse. Our hope is that these assets are used creatively to push the boundaries of footwear and to inspire people to maintain healthy and balanced lifestyles.
