History of Asics Gel Lyte III Collabs
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Sep 28, 2009 Asics reintroduced the Gel Lyte III in the latter part of 2006, but the shoe gained some serious traction starting in the summer of 2007 when it was the focal point for a number of collaborative projects. With the Nice Kicks x Asics Gel Lyte III coming in only 3 days, we wanted to compose a full history of Asics Gel Lyte III’s that have been part of collaborative projects.

David Z x Asics Gel Lyte III
Collaborator: David Z
Release Date: 5.24.07 / 7.10.07
It all kicked off with the pair on the far left of the lineup dropping in May of 2007. We caught up with Ronnie Fieg, designer of David Z collabs and heard that there were more projects in the works. Keep clicking through to see what the future brought us.

I LIKE THE SHOE BUT I HATE THE TONGUE. I WONDER IF I COULD GET SOMEONE TO SEW THE TONGUE TOGETHER? I MIGHT TRY THAT.
