References: atmos-tokyo & hypebeast
ASICS works in collaboration with atmos on a new set of the GEL LYTE III OG sneaker model that is both designed with inspiration from subway lines. There are two colorways in total and each one boasts the actual train lines of each city that takes on the same design language as Google Maps.
It is printed all over the upper, spotlighting New York City and Tokyo respectively. The New York iteration has tiger stripes on the medial side of the shoe for a touch of contrast against the grey base foundation. The Japan iteration is done in navy blue with kanji letters on the front side of the shoe. The tongues are accented with more motifs to the city lines.
