Asics Gel Lyte Speed “Mustard”

asics-gel-lyte-mustard-1

The Gel Lyte Speed from Asics has been getting some shine this year with the collaboration banger from Patta earlier this year, but Asics is dropping some of their own like the “Mustard” colorway.

The shoe is very similar to the Gel Lyte III (like the Nice Kicks one!), but a little sleeker in areas like the toe box and incorporates a different sole. This colorway is certainly reminiscent of Ronald McDonald with the red/white/gold/black palette and the patent leather in the upper. Also, the ballistic mesh is a nice accent in the tongue to really give the shoe a rugged balance to the smoothness of the patent.

Check for the “Mustard” Gel Lyte Speed in your local Asics retailers this Fall. Asics is rolling out some interesting products this year - check out the shoe after the jump and let us know what you think.
