New from Asics are these Gel Lyte III’s, in a very interesting colorway. Some kicks go for as many bright colors as possible; others go for a more subdued, classy look. These Gel Lytes straddle that fence, as they combine some bright oranges and blues with more low-key browns and blacks, for a very interesting contrast. The laces also feature paint splattered detailing, as does the midsole. The light and dark shades of color used on this shoe, combined with the interesting detailing, creates a very desirable pair of kicks, and puts another solid drop onto Asics’ list of successes. Look for these now at your local Asics accounts, including Foot Locker.

Last night at an event for the release of the David Z x Asics GT Quick, a secret collaboration was dropped as well — its on the OG colorway of the Asics Gel Lyte III but instead of white mesh, black is used. You’ll remember our story on the Asics Gel Lyte III OG which was available exclusively at Footlocker here in the US. This new colorway which is very similar to the OG colorway replaces a few pieces of white and replaced it with black to give it more of a New York City feel according to Ronnie Fieg who designed it. Today, both the GT Quick and the Gel Lyte III will be available online and in the David Z flag ship store — priced at $100.

Asics is definitely the sneaker company of the day, with several stories on Sneaker News today. This will be our second to last, look out for news of another collaboration in a bit. This new collaboration between Asics and Mita, a fresh take on the Gel Lyte III, is definitely one of the best products we’ve seen out of the Japanese sneaker boutique in a while. With a very clean profile combined with some very vivid hues of purple and blue, and great use of patent leather to boot, these are definitely some of the cleanest kicks we’ve seen out of Asics in a while. These will be a Mita exclusive, so don’t expect them to start appearing outside of Japan anytime soon. Via Mita.

Asics has had great success with the Gel Lyte III over the past year with collaboration and and some very cool regular colorways. This summer, they continue with more hits including the above Gel Lyte III in white, black, navy and red with inspiration from the zebra. Keeping most of the sneaker simple and basic colors, these have an 80’s feel to them. The zebra inspiration on the Asics stripes gives the shoe a little more flavor and suggest the speed of the Zebra. This new colorway just dropped at select Footlockers in the US and at other Asics retailers.
