Ronnie Fieg’s latest GL3 designs are building quite a bit of buzz amongst the cult following he has directly helped to expand, but there’s another Asics collaboration on the way before either the ‘Leatherbacks’ or ‘Salmon Toes’. We’re speaking, of course, about the atmos x Asics Gel Lyte III, a model first previewed on Sneaker News just under a month ago, and one that’s sure to have US sneakerheads dialing up their overseas connects. This black and gold design features the same classic suede and mesh construction that made Fieg’s collabos such a hit with old school running fans, but the colorway offers a glimpse into the higher contrast possibilities. Your best bet to get these outside of Japan is likely the ‘bay, so click through to see more angles and let us know if you’ll try to procure a pair.

adidas Originals seems to be quite a big fan of glow in the dark snakeskin, the above pictured model number four in a series of Japanese-exclusive collaborations with the Tokyo sneaker shop, atmos. The atmos x adidas Originals Superstar 80s G-SNK IV is the plainest yet, their black-on-white colorway roughly the opposite of DJ Hassebe’s contribution earlier in the series. This simple palette and the off-white sole and toecap will have folks seeing these as a vintage release and then BAM, the lights go off and you’re the only person in the room with glowing green feet. Click through to see more angles and expect these at atmos next month.

We’ve seen the Reebok Insta Pump Fury updated with a new high-tech sole and brought back to its roots with OG colorways, but nowhere along this relatively wide spectrum of styles is a model as crazy as this latest release. Jun Watanabe’s Insta Pump Fury ‘Mr. Bottle Head’ is one of the most eye-catching sneakers we’ve seen all year thanks to the high-contrast polka dot overlay falling on top of a cotton candy base. They’ve got all kinds of details in homage to Watanabe’s famous character, and just like the figurine releases, this shoe is quite limited. A mere 500 pairs were produced, but you might be able to get one if you act now, courtesy of Kix-Files.
