TOBYATO for LIMITED EDT
CHRISTMAS 2024

Step into a festive fusion of art and street culture as Limited Edt unveils the third chapter of its LE Artist Takeover, this time featuring Tobyato – a Singaporean visual artist celebrated for his bold murals and collaborations with global brands. His work is inspired by traditional Asian motifs and reflects his heritage through a playful and contemporary lens.

The artwork also marks the end of the Year of the Dragon, with a playful nod to the Christmas and the New Year - can you spot it?

For Limited Edt’s Artist Takeover #3, Tobyato brings his signature motifs to the Limited Edt and introduces a special edition of his Sneaker Stone figurine, in this edition - the Dragon. The exclusive "Vandawave" colourway is inspired by the Vanda Miss Joaquim flower, Singapore’s national flower, and incorporates vapourwave aesthetics through a gradient colour application. The Sneaker Stone Lions, which first debuted at Sneakertopia Asia, merge traditional Chinese guardian lion designs with sneaker culture, featuring shoe laces, tongues, and stitching integrated into their mythical forms.
