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.

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.

If you’ve been paying attention to all the Asics heat we’ve been showing off around here as of late, you’ll recall an upcoming Asics Gel Saga in a clean infrared colorway as a standout. That upcoming banger is actually an echo of the Asics Gel-Lyte Speed shown here, which uses a bright yellow rather than the burning red as the accenting color. It even brings in a bit of cement-like speckling on the midsole, a touch we’ve seen to great effect on the Asics Gel-Lyte III. These started hitting select overseas retailers at the tail end of 2011, but if you’re still on the hunt for a pair, then hit up Germany’s own Afew Store after you check the full photos we’ve got lined up.

Given the outlook of the next couple of months sneaker wise, it’s safe to say that many of our readers have visions of Jumpmen dancing around in their heads. Let it be known though that you are sleeping if you haven’t been keeping an eye out for all the heat Asics has in store. Taste makers like Ronnie Fieg and Patta have shown you whats up, but don’t forget the strong in house designs like the Asics Gel-Lyte Speed shown here. Coming in two clean colorways, this split tongue retro runner is one that doesn’t pop up too often. We’ve got a full look at both pairs after the jump, so check that out and then head over to Patta to cop, and check your local stateside Asics retailer to get yours.
