Biti’s Hunter is Vietnam’s leading sneaker brand, reimagined as a bold expression of national pride and youth culture. The rebrand, led by M — N Associates, transforms the brand from a marketing-driven label into a culturally-rooted fashion movement. Inspired by Vietnamese heritage and driven by modern ambition, the new identity features an adaptive ‘H’ monogram and a custom MN Hunter Display typeface—uniting style, symbolism, and purpose. More than a visual upgrade, this transformation redefines Biti’s Hunter as a symbol of creativity, confidence, and progress—proudly made in Vietnam, and made to move.
When a brand becomes a vehicle for self-expression and a symbol of identity, that’s when you know the work has meaning beyond the brief.
Despite Biti’s Hunter’s success in viral marketing, the brand lacked a distinct and scalable visual identity to stand out in the highly competitive sneaker landscape. Vietnamese brands have often struggled to compete with global labels, not because of a lack of creativity, but due to the absence of a strong brand system.
Our motivation was to build something proudly Vietnamese—something that could confidently stand on the global stage, represent local youth culture, and celebrate national identity without compromise. We aimed to create a brand that doesn’t imitate trends but instead shapes them through authentic cultural expression.
The rebrand of Biti’s Hunter shifted the conversation around what a Vietnamese fashion brand can be. It sparked renewed pride among local consumers and inspired a wave of cultural ownership within the youth community. The adaptive ‘H’ monogram became more than a logo—it turned into a symbol of personal and national expression, appearing across sneaker designs, fashion collaborations, and social media content.
In our field, the project became a case study in how branding can blend strategy, cultural relevance, and emotional storytelling. It’s encouraged other homegrown brands to explore deeper narratives and more daring design systems.
