ASICS Sportstyle, the Japanese sports brand announces an exciting pop-up with SVD, the sneaker retailer partner, debuting exclusively at Bred Abu Dhabi. This exciting partnership will feature an expansive Japanese-inspired space, limited sneaker drops, immersive music showcases and a curated events program, making it a must-see experience for sneaker enthusiasts and streetstyle aficionados alike.
Taking place at Yas Bay Waterfront from April 24-28, this five-day festival celebrates the fusion of global cultures through music, fashion, art, and sports. Expanding upon this year’s event theme celebrating the fusion of cultures, ASICS will be bringing together its heritage of innovation and performance with SVD’s urban streetwear sensibilities.
Spanning across two floors, the installation will aesthetically blend classical Japanese architecture with industrial and brutalist European art while highlighting the latest ASICS drops and exclusive releases from SVD’s recent collaborations Needles, Hidden NY, WOODWOOD and Curation Models by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS.
Grounded in ASICS’ core philosophy of “Sound Mind, Sound Body”, the exclusive space will fuse a sleek, minimalist ambiance with a progressively disruptive atmosphere, mirroring the evolution of culture and design. Drawing inspiration from ASICS’ latest campaign promoting movement and its beneficial impact on both body and mind, the collaborative space invites visitors on an immersive journey through the concept of art in motion.
Key highlight includes an immersive circular space, Art in Motion where guests can discover special sneaker customisations by Ali Cha’aban, Junaynaah and Kickstq, complemented by talks and videos showcasing the designers’ journey on how design moves them. In addition, guests can also enjoy refreshing drinks and the Ice Cream Bar, as well as Sip & Paint sessions created to encourage guests to engage their minds through artistic expression. Infusing the space with dance and movement, the pop-up also features an eclectic line-up of local DJs, exclusive parties hosted by Soho House, Green Room and House of Yanos.
Making BRED Abu Dhabi the perfect destination for this that epitomises neo-culture, blending elements of music, fashion, art, and sports to create a unique and immersive experience. The ASICS and SVD partnership at BRED Abu Dhabi promises to be a testament to the power of cultural exchange and creativity. Don't miss the opportunity to move your mind through product, music, and food.
