The co-branded series from Little Tokyo Table Tennis (LTTT) and ASICS is about to drop. Centered around the theme of a ping pong table, the collection cleverly integrates the iconic net motif into its designs.

Matching apparel transforms the net structure into bold grid patterns. Additionally, the pants showcase a distinctive new co-branded logo—spelling out "LTTT" using four ASICS logos in place of the letters. As previously hinted, the series will also include bucket hats, a highly sought-after item within the brand's community.
