Founded in 2020 by designer Jiro Maetsu, Little Tokyo Table Tennis (often abbreviated to LTTT) is a community ping pong club based in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo neighborhood. Outside of hosting sessions every Tuesday from 6-9 PM at the Terasaki Budokan gym, LTTT also drops merch on its website and in-store at its retail storefront in Little Tokyo. Maetsu and LTTT are now set to serve a footwear and apparel collaboration with Asics.
This Asics project marks LTTT’s first foray into the footwear world, with the brand tackling the Gel-Nimbus 10.1, a hybrid silhouette taking the upper of the Gel-Nimbus 10 and the tooling inspired by the Gel-Kayano 14. We’ve seen the sneaker appear in multiple GR colorways, but it also hosts a series of collaborations with Kith and even NFL superstar Stefon Diggs.
