words // Darren Griffin:

In honor of their fifth store opening in San Francisco in a matter of weeks, sneaker retailer BAIT aligns with ASICS for a hoops centric collaboration. Paying tribute to the cherished basketball franchise of the Bay Area, the Golden State Warriors, the BAIT x ASICS Gel Lyte V “Splash City” sees the retailer work with the timeless 1993 runner for the first time. Constructed in premium pigskin suede married to nubuck overlays that house the Gel Lyte V’s signature neoprene sockliner, a vibrant blue tone wraps the base while yellow accents line the ASICS stripe logo. Finished in a black and white palette, the BAIT x ASICS Gel Lyte V “Splash City” drops on April 11, the weekend before the Warriors begin their quest for greatness in the NBA Playoffs. Pairs will be available at a preview of the new San Francisco store while any remaining pairs will go up on BAITme.com thereafter.
