BATA HERITAGE X ASTRO BOY TENNIS COLLECTION

The capsule collaboration consists of three designs, each depicting a different stage of Astro Boy’s evolution as a manga character. The “Atom Born” style shows how Astro Boy was created, while the color-blocked “Toe Face” juxtaposes the robot’s wide-open eyes to the rubber toe cap. “Flying City,” the third style, features Astro Boy in action on the side of the shoe.

Astro Boy is a science fiction manga featuring a humanoid robot named Atom, depicted as an elementary-school boy, who uses his miraculous 100,000 horsepower strength to fight evil and save the world. Created by Osamu Tezuka, Astro Boy first appeared serially in “Shonen” magazine from 1952 to 1968. In 1963, the manga became the first commercial animated TV program, airing weekly in Japan and starting the TV animation craze there.
