Asics Gel-Lyte Speed ‘Tomato’

Aaron Hope — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:35:16 +0000

Sneaker News just brought you images of a new ZX 8000 design from adidas Originals that utilized a couple shifts in the most basic color shades to give the shoe a unique finished look. Good news for anyone who found that style appealing, as today we have a look at a new drop from another brand that utilizes a similar style (which one’s better?). The Asics Gel-Lyte Speed comes through in a white base accented by what looks like from a distance the three primary colors of pigment, though a closer look reveals the ‘red’ to be done in a lycopene-y shade closer to orange that’s earned this model a ‘Tomato’ nickname. Check them out from a variety of other angles after the jump and find yours at select retailers like Hanon.

A couple quick search engine queries will let you know that the value of gold has been on a steady rise over the past couple of years. Ronnie Fieg’s pedigree has been marked by a similar trend, with each of his successive Asics releases garnering more and more attention. Looks like he’s got another one on his hands with the Ronnie Fieg x Asics GT-II ‘Rose Gold’, a sneaker that we’ve seen teased a couple times already under the salmon/baby blue moniker. The images come with the familiar Fieg formula (chicks+kicks), so do your best to stay focused when you check out the quick teaser here. As always stick with Sneaker News for release info on the Ronnie Fieg x Asics GT-II ‘Rose Gold’ as soon as it becomes available.

Ronnie Fieg x Asics GT-II – Salmon – Baby Blue

Given the pace he was keeping in 2011, it seemed like only a matter of time before the world got a peek at the next sneaker in the line from the ongoing Ronnie Fieg x Asics team up. Judging by this photo from his twitter, Fieg is getting away from the split-tongue set up again with a revisit to the Asics GT-II. Astute readers will recall when these popped up on the feet of Theophilus London, or even further back when they slyly showed up in a Kith photoshoot. Suede is again the material of choice, this time in a light salmon color with some hits of baby blue for the accents. Follow us after the jump to get the full look at the latest from Ronnie Fieg, and stick with Sneaker News for release info as soon as it becomes available.

Asics Gel Lyte III + GT-II Fall/Winter 2011 Releases @ Kith

Aaron Hope — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:30:33 +0000

With sneaker resellers causing enough of a push against market elasticity that the best might earn an early retirement, we’ve reached a point in the history of footwear distribution where true regional exclusives are almost a thing of the past. The internet makes it possible to not only hit up overseas retailers, but make connections with likeminded heads across the globe for the expressed purpose of trading sneakers to make your neighbors jealous. The same will also be possible for NYC-area sneakerheads who’ll have a shot at some of Asics’ best fall/winter 2011 releases with this limited drop at both of Ronnie Fieg’s Kith locations in NYC and their online store. This small run includes the three Asics Gel Lyte IIIs that hit Euro retailers last July as well as a black GT-II blocked similarly to the pair that just dropped a couple weeks back. All four will arrive at select additional retailers by mid-February, so click through to see more angles and let us know which pair is best.

Asics Gel Lyte III ‘Yin & Yang’

Brendan Dunne — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:00:48 +0000

2012 is barely a month old and it’s already shaping up to be a great year for Asics. Between the colorful in-house designs and promises of more Ronnie Fieg goodness though, the lineup has been a little short on more understated looks. Fortunately, the impeccably clean ‘Yin & Yang’ pairs first previewed here have finally popped up. Sticking strictly to black and white, they mirror each other in the distribution of those two tones, hence the nickname. Going with the Yin & Yang theme, does that mean that you can’t have one without the other? We’ll let you decide on that as you hit up Hanon for a pre-order after getting the full shots we’ve got waiting for you.

Asics Gel Lyte III + Gel-Lyte Speed – Spring 2012

Aaron Hope — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:30:05 +0000

After Patta’s Gel Saga touched down right before the end of the year, the Asics preview earning the most attention was another release from that recently revived model that borrowed from another golden era running legend. And it turns out the Onitsuka Tiger wasn’t done utilizing the early-’90s time capsule ‘Infrared’ look there, as a new Asics Gel Lyte III has popped up with a darker take on the bright red-accented style. They’re joined by a new Gel Lytespeed design that’s based on primary colors, but with the red leaning toward orange and more of a navy blue than classic royal. They’re sufficiently different so as to appeal to every taste, and they just dropped today at Crooked Tongues.
