Quietly celebrating its 35th anniversary this year is one of the classic Asics runners whose history predates the brand’s own name. This Onitsuka Tiger California 78 is one of those models that’s been around as a low-profile retro staple for the past decade or so, but still doesn’t get the respect it deserves from the masses. Old school running devotees are sure to take note of these rich vintage suede designs, whose tonal palettes with just a bit of pop connect past and present into one highly wearable package. Actually, it’s two, as in two colorways awaiting you in more photos below, so have a closer look and stick with Sneaker News for US release info.

We haven’t seen a new colorway since Ronnie Fieg unleashed the ‘High Risk’ edition as a Kith exclusive, so Asics GT-II fans’ hunger is growing. Luckily, we’ll have a handful of new styles to enjoy come Q3, so let’s examine these fall 2013 releases with a new set of images. In three forthcoming colorways, we see subtle colorblocking variations and a restrained tone in general, as this trio utilizes no more than four colors per pair. This gives the whole set a traditional vibe, so click through to see which of these classic styles you like best, and stick with Sneaker News so we can let you know exactly when these August scheduled releases hit retail.

The world’s most popular split-tongued classic runner will bless the suede and mesh faithful with a handful of new styles each season this year. For fall 2013, we see a mix of Asics Gel Lyte IIIs with varying degrees of color exuberance and tonality/contrast. The flame-accented black edition stands out thanks to its speckled midsole. Its counterparts add more complexity to their colorblocking, as we see purple and yellow combined once more on a mostly white style, while another goes with grey overlay and red accents to push its violet base in a different direction. Let us know which one you like best after seeing all three below, and stick with Sneaker News for US release info.

The insanely impressive inline Asics product roll-out continues with this sick Asics Gel Lyte III colored up in a clean Navy Blue and vibrant Team Orange for a rather poignant presentation of the classic orange-and-blue color-combination. Much like the Air Max 1, the Asics Gel Lyte III is among the ranks of legendary sneakers that only require clean colorways for us to cop – with this latest release being a perfect example. Keep an eye out for these at your local Asics retailer and don’t think twice because Sneaker Politics sold out fast.

In recent years, the Asics Gel Saga II has given itself to numerous collaborations, most in conjunction with retailers or their leaders. Here’s a case where you can’t help but see a tie in with another pop cornerstone beloved by the cultured and fashionable, one whose long film history befits the name ‘saga’. This ‘Kill Bill’ Gel Saga II is a can’t miss colorway in bright yellow plus black and a bit of blood red splatter on the midsole, but add in the memory of Uma Thurman channeling Bruce Lee with a sequel supposedly right around the corner and this becomes one of those gotta-have GRs. Check them out in greater detail, then grab yours at select retailers like West.

The above pictured Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III ’New York’ sees Mr. Kith lovingly apply his hometown’s colors to the silhouette he knows inside and out.
