Thirty three members of the awardwinning GB Acrobatic Squad and Britain's Got Talent winners, Spelbound, spent the day in a London studio bent in eye-watering positions to achieve this incredible human statue of an ASICS running shoe.

The gymnasts contorted and supported each other to create this image captured by photographer Melvin Vincent to launch the latest collection of running shoes from sportswear brand ASICS.

The human shoe is a replica of ASICS' new GEL-EXCEL33, the flagship model of the new ASICS 33 collection which is designed to allow all 33 joints in the foot to move freely giving the wearer a natural running experience.
