The Asics Gel Lyte III has done wonders in the past year to bring back the Asics name into sneakerhead’s vocabulary, but make no mistake, Asics has plenty of other great silhouettes to keep this comeback alive. The Asics GT-II is another silhouette from the vault that has been recently brought back, but with no store or brand collab done on the silhouette (yet) few have the shoe on their radar.
The GT-II has landed overseas, but has been offered to retailers for a release down the road. This pair is currently available at Sweden’s Sneakers N Stuff.

The Asics Gel Lyte III made its stay at many elite boutiques in uber-limited numbers, but this 1990 classic sneaker has also come in exclusive colorups to Foot Locker. Like most Foot Locker exclusives, the shoes are only available in stores and not online meaning you have to get out from behind the monitor and head to your nearest mall.
This colorway is one of just a handful that Foot Locker has done in special makeups with Asics. Prices do vary depending on materials, but start at just $74.99. Photos thanks to Jeno Torretta from the SC Forum / KicksOnFire. |

The Asics GT Quick recently made a big return as a David Z x Asics collab, but across the Atlantic, this silhouette is not sitting on the sidelines. Asics Europe has recently released the GT Quick in colors you would have thought you would see in New York with the combination of White, Royal, and Orange, but just because they drop overseas won’t mean they will stay there forever. Perfect shoe for the final time you watch the Mets play at Shea or the Knicks in the fall. In stock now at Solebox. |

Previously we reported the news of an upcoming Solebox Asics Gel Lyte III, but finally we have a confirmed release date of August 23rd. Many things have been done with the Gel Lyte III, but each collab seems to prove that the possibilities are limitless with this sneaker. Solebox is the next to the plate to release their rendition of the 1990 classic sneaker.
While the Gel Lyte III begs for splashes of multiple colors thanks to the number of panels on the shoe, Solebox went with a basic grey suede upper. Accents of white, black, and purple give more interest to the shoe, but the most intriguing feature of all is the color changing Asics stripe and midsole that transitions from white to purple when one steps into the sunlight.
At this point we only know of the Solebox x Asics Gel Lyte III releasing at Solebox on the 23rd of August, but we will keep you posted if we receive word of any pairs getting shifted elsewhere. Info from HypeBeast. |

Ronnie Fieg kept these Secret Gel Lyte IIIs from us for quite a while, but they are well worth the wait. As Ronnie said in the interview, the shoe is something that OG heads can appreciate but with a little twist. This colorway of the Gel Lyte III along with the GT Quick is limited to only 200 pairs per color and has a retail price of $100. They are available now online at DavidZ.com while supplies last.
Not enough words could do the shoes enough justice - plenty of shots after the jump. |
