Hand-in-hand with the newest Asics Autumn/Winter 2024 collection launch, the Celebration of Movement Pop-up in Bangkok, Thailand gathered the biggest and coolest style stars in Asia. From Manila, celebrities, personalities, and influencers <strong>Gazini Ganados</strong>, <strong>Gab Lagman</strong>, <strong>Santino Rosales</strong>, <strong>Rhea Bue</strong>, <strong>Jeff Ong</strong>, and <strong>Dominic Roque</strong> represented the Philippines, while decked in head-to-toe Asics looks and in their favorite pair of shoes from the brand.

space where it drew a star-studded list of Asian stars and longtime Asics brand ambassadors like <strong>Nichkhun</strong> and new brand ambassadors like <strong>Luke Ishikawa</strong>, <strong>Ryu

Shown at event is the inspiring campaign video of the ambassadors, narrating what inspires them to move. Included in this lauded list, headed by Nickhkun, is our very own Gazini Ganados and Gab Lagman. In the video, Gazini is seen in her Asics yoga look with her take on what makes a sound body and sound mind: “I am not my circumstance. I am the outcome I create,” she says.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/bf692224-4859-49ee-ad00-397a0fb70ee4_asicsevent-9.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The Asics campaign featuring Gazini Ganados</span></span></span></div><p>The night was a host of exciting activities for the exclusive guests.

But beyond the physicality, for the couple, Asics pieces are also about inspiring them to explore more possibilities in life. “Having the passion in whatever I do is what really inspires me to “move” in life,” Rhea shares.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/dae4b65a-1daa-4759-96ff-5c4296987cf9_untitled design.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Content creators Rhea Bue and Jeff Ong at the Celebration of Movement Pop-Up</span></span></span></div><p>Santino, as the athlete in the group, goes for the shoes’ functionality. “What I love about Asics shoes is that they’re not only beautiful, but they are also very user oriented. I appreciate how they integrate technology in the shoes in order to ensure that they adjust to the natural movements of your feet,” he says. Dominic goes for the overall appeal of Asics as the brand you should go for when you demand only the best for yourself. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/40902965-7ba4-4b3f-beaa-0f53994f9d33_3.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Santino Rosales and Dominic Roque at the Celebration of Movement Pop-Up</span></span></span></div><p>Taking the heart of the night with him, for Santino, “moving” is all about self-improvement.
