From what we can see, Ronnie Fieg, who was involved in the entire trilogy design process, used a healthy dose of patent leather on the toe cap and for the eyestays. Navy perforated suede is used for the topside of the toe section, much like on our own version. The laces use two colors, mixing silver and blue. It looks like the navy suede continues along the side as well, filling the panel behind the Asics arches logo.

If you slept on our collaboration, don’t make the same mistake again, and stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

As you all know (unless you live under a rock), the highly anticipated Nice Kicks x Asics Gel Lyte III will officially be made available this Thursday, October 1st, on Davidz.com. However, to hold you over in such little time, we have spotted a very winter-ready Gel Lyte III available at Hanon.

This particular Gel Lyte III owns a very subtle, low-key color scheme, to say the least. The base is colored mostly in olive green and black, while various orange details appear throughout the side and heel panels. To finish it off, this Gel Lyte III’s grey midsole possesses a blue speckle-like design. As stated earlier, you can purchase this shoe now at Hanon. Click here to view additional photos.

Unless you having been living under a rock (regarding the visitation of our website), you have seen detailed images of our upcoming collaboration design with DavidZ on the Gel Lyte III. We stated that the shoe will be available in-store and online during the month of October, however, while we continue to impatiently wait for the release, we have spotted another fresh Asics Gel Lyte III colorway that is available at Sneaker Politics.

This particular Gel Lyte III owns a very vibrant color scheme to say the least. The base is colored mostly in grey and black, while various turquoise details appear throughout the heel and side panels. The Asics logo is done up in purple to give this shoe a nice contrasting look. To finish it off, this Gel Lyte III’s white midsole possesses a grey speckle-like design. As stated earlier, you can purchase this shoe now at Sneaker Politics.

Though color choice was important for us, the material selections took a very high priority.  From front the back, the shoe features a nubuck toe cap, perforated pig skin toe box and side panels, patent leather striped overlaying 3M reflective material, finishing off with ballistic mesh on the tongue and ankle collar.

Limited to 250 pairs, the Nice Kicks x Asics Gel Lyte III will be available in October instore and online at DavidZ.com for $105.  Click here to see more photos of the shoes.
