Frequently Asked Questions

ASICS overarching mission as a company and our mission in Web3 is the same: to help people achieve and maintain a sound mind in a sound body. Our goal in Web3 is to use blockchain technology to inspire the Web3 community to move and be physically active.

The ASICS x Solana UI Collection consists of two limited edition shoes inspired by “dark mode” and “light mode” user interfaces on computer and phone screens.

“U.I.” is an acronym that stands for “user interface”. A user interface is the point of human-computer interaction on a device, in other words, what you see when you look at a computer or phone screen.

To help the Solana community find a healthy balance between their digital and physical activity.

ASICS and Solana will be releasing a custom GT-2000 11 running shoe in two forms: (1) Light Mode (White) (2) Dark Mode (Black) While “dark mode” and “light mode” are typically seen on digital user interfaces, Solana and ASICS have transplanted these “modes” onto the user interface of a running shoe.

It is the perfect “go-to” shoe to help anyone in the Solana community find a healthy balance between their digital and physical selves through walking, jogging, and/or running.
