Ross Dwyer Although ASICS seems to be focusing most of their lifestyle energy around the GEL-Kayano line as of late, they haven’t forgotten about the GEL-Lyte series either, as a brand-new leather equipped take on the GEL-LYTE V recently appeared. Swapping out the standard synthetic and suede construction for a premium perforated leather base that’s fully geared towards the lifestyle end of the spectrum, these ASICS then adorn their elegant base with a veritable plethora of bold colors. Yellow, red, orange, teal, and purple all throw their hats in the ring, while black trim and accents on the midfoot and outsole provide a semblance of order to accompany all the wild accents. The sock-like construction ensures a snug-but-not-too-tight fit, and a GEL-filled midsole provides classic comfort to finalize everything. These colorful classics are available now at Japanese retailers like Yamaotoko and may see a stateside release later this summer, so check out a detailed set of images below and stay tuned to our Sneaker Release Dates page for further updates as they’re available.
