Finishing off a three pair pack, the BAIT x ASICS Gel Lyte III “Nippon Blues” Basics Model-003 brings strong Japanese roots to the split tongue silo. Departing from the military makeups that dressed the first two installments, this pair pays homage to both ASICS and Japanese culture. An imported indigo kasuri textile from Japan outfits the upper, backed by nailhead suede for durability. The ASICS striping sees slight modification, resulting in a clean look. Red accents and hickory denim lining caps off the colorway, providing a nod to Western influence while signifying the relationship between BAIT and ASICS.
