To mark the launch of the new sneaker capsule between Thom Browne and Asics, photographer Robbie Lawrence turned his lens to Tokyo. Against the backdrop of the bustling city, Lawrence captured a series of Tokyoites dressed in Thom Browne’s signature gray suiting, paired with the new sneakers. The zine project, titled “The Working Hour,” thus unfolds in a fitting setting: a city in constant motion, flooded with suit-clad salarymen commuting to and from work.

The images shift between black-and-white and faded, nostalgic tones. Lawrence followed his cast over two days of daily life in Japan, capturing moments of them standing amid crowded streets, slicking back gel-glossed hair, and moving through the neon-lit city. Close-up shots of brisk, purposeful steps reveal sleek Asics sneakers, punctuated by Thom Browne’s signature three stripes at the heel. The printed matter becomes a study of the body in motion, reflecting Browne and Lawrence’s shared interest in form and performance in this first collaboration.

Elsewhere, texts by writer and director Durga Chew-Bose are peppered throughout. They chronicle the origins of the collaboration, Browne’s affinity for running, and the steady passage of time in a city like Tokyo.

As for the launch, the project lands in London. Debuting at the Institute of Contemporary Arts this Friday, the zine will be presented in a gallery-style opening before hitting New York later this month.
