The ASICS GEL-Lyte III running shoes recently received a holiday update inspired by Valentine's Day and romantic desserts. The shoes are now available in a sleek and feminine 'Strawberries & Cream' colorway with bright pink and creamy white hues pulled from the sentimental food.
Strawberries are a popular fruit during the romance-centric holiday, making the food an ideal choice to draw upon when coming up with a conceptual shoe design. The sneakers feature a blushed pink suede silhouette complete with a matching speckled sole, laces and meshed detailing around the heel. The cream element of the dessert is seen in subtle white detailing along the heel and ASICS logo. The shoes are girly and feminine with a tasteful undertone of romance that is ideal for the month of February and the popular love holiday.
