Alive in Beijing 02 - Look who I ran into while Wu Ji-ing!

My first night back in Beijing I went to Sunlitun Village to meet some people for dinner.  This place was well known as an international bar area back when I was here before, but fast forward 5 years later, and now there's a giant mall filled w/ international brand stores (adidas, uniqlo, nike, puma, apple, etc). 

I ran into a familiar face as soon as I got out of the taxi:

Yes, Jet Li,  modeling his 'Wu Ji' collaboration with adidas. 

Inside they had a full room dedicated to the collection:

featuring a video of Jet talking about Wu Ji, some posters and mannequins with the clothes...

not just any regular mannequins, these ones were doing taiji!

Nice, except why no shoes?! :-P

its hard to see, but thats the Wu Ji logo mosiac,  where each of the dots is actually made up of taiji poses.

here's a close-up of the purple version,  not sure if you can see the pixels well though.

anyway, its cool to see Jet getting a prominent featuring at an international chain's flagship store in Beijing... 

Jia you Jet!

update:  I went over there again tonight and found them dismantling this whole display!  good thing I got it all captured on film (digital).   its all gone now! :-(
