A Joyride Above the Clouds
Pairing Atom with a luggage house is a witty idea about travel, and the rocket makes it literal. The hand-sprayed flame gives each example its own character. It is one of the most playful Secretbase collaborations.
Best for: Secretbase, PORTER and Tezuka collectors

A collaboration between the Tokyo soft vinyl studio Secretbase and PORTER, the Japanese bag maker: Astro Boy astride a white rocket, riding a burst of orange flame above a pale blue cloud.
The Piece
Atom sits forward on the rocket with both hands braced on its riveted body, red boots tucked in at the fins and a delighted smile on his face, the very picture of a boy hero taking a joyride. The rocket is cast in white with panel lines and a silver nose cone, and the exhaust fades from yellow through orange into a soft cloud base, sprayed by hand so each example carries its own gradient.
Secretbase pairs Tezuka's character with the brands of Tokyo street culture in short runs, and the PORTER collaboration is one of its most charming, a nod to travel and flight from a house known for its luggage.
