The Japanese streetwear and footwear scene is recognized globally, with brands like sacai, UNDERCOVER, and NEIGHBORHOOD collaborating with international footwear heavyweights. Now, ASICS attempts to reflect the recent trends in Japanese street style with the latest release of the GEL Lyte III.
The iteration from ASICS is layered mainly in a suede base covered in a soft purple hue. For a premium touch, the signature split tongue is composed of quilt and paisley prints, which is currently trending in Japan. However, due to the uniqueness of the paisley graphics, no two pairs are exactly alike. Elsewhere, the lateral tiger stripe is cream, while the medial stripe is dark purple. For the finishing touches, the silhouette rests atop a purple and cream sole.
Releasing on July 19 for $190 at ASICS and select retailers. Take a look at the images below and keep it locked to our sneaker release page for more updates on upcoming kicks.
