Gravity Meets it's Archenemy in ASICS 'Levitation' Ad

A cool 72 square foot shoe was built to demonstrate the anti-gravity possibilities of Japanese athletic apparel company ASICS and their new ultra-lightweight GEL-Blur33 line of footwear. The clever spot pulled off a pretty ingenious and original floating shoe effect and even more impressive is they did it without the use of any CG technology or special effects.  Like watching art in progress, it is nice to see an advertisement that does not rely too heavily on technology, but more on the creative ingenuity of the human mind.

ASICS Gives A Sound Effort in UK Ad 'Shedding'

Often the best ingredients for a good TV ad is just simply some cool visuals and a great song and this UK advert demonstrates this adage perfectly. The ad features interesting text effects that mesh perfectly over ASICS new slogan "sport releases more than just sweat". The great backing track is by Electric President and their song "Ten Thousand Lines".
