Evisu works in collaboration with ASICS on a new iteration of the GEL-LYTE III sneaker model for the season. The shoes evoke a retro design language that is timeless and versatile. It has a nostalgic feel with canvas materials making up the base foundation of the upper.
The shoes are then detailed with a plethora of fabrics including layers of leather, suede, and denim to create a three-piece of patchwork shoes that nod to both contributing efforts. Every pair of shoes feature a range of shades throughout the panels including blue, red, brown, deep navy, and beige. It is rounded out by crisp white laces over the forefoot and branding on the lateral side and back of the shoe.
