The Asics Van in NYC
// ASICS //
2021 Mercedes Sprinter 170” Crew
Live Uplifted. Designed in collaboration with the team at SGK + ASICS—Crafted at the How We Adventure workshop in Bend, Oregon. Playing with clean lines, a zen color palette and natural interiors inspired by the heritage of ASICS and design cues from their HQ in Boston, this 170” Sprinter is truly one-of-a-kind. Built to be experienced by everyone invited to Live Uplifted on a cross-country tour hitting 20 cities, catch this van in the wild as they make their way across the US, ending in Eugene for the World Athletics Championships, July 15-24th, 2022.
Behind that subtle exterior wrap you’ll find some of our most detailed woodwork to date. Custom slat walls designed to showcase footwear and marketing graphics sit next to our in-house designed, CNC cut ApplyPly cabinetry. Details like navy leather drawer pulls, Richlite countertops in Blue Canyon and CNC’d ASICS brand logos…we obsessed every inch.
Because looks aren’t everything, this van hides some serious functionality. This build features our most robust electrical system to date—a must for hosting events across the country. A dedicated Nations 24v 150AMP secondary alternator charges the 24V Victron Energy system powering the ASICS van 600Ah Victron LiFePO4 battery bank, 5000W inverter, 300W of solar along with a BMS and Cerbo GX to monitor the system. The road ahead is lit by a custom fabricated light bar and Baja Designs LP6 lights mounted to a Flatline Van Co. Safari Rack.
