Asics Gel-Lyte Speed – OG Colorways

Last year was a banner annum for the Asics Gel Lyte III, which released in a variety of stellar collaborations along with the original colorways.  This time around it’s another classic runner’s time to shine, as the Gel Lytespeed will return in its OG palette.  One look at these bright colorways and the style in which they’re blocked and it’ll be obvious this was a shoe conceived in 1989 and released to retail in ’91 (you guys want some grapes?), every bit the time capsule quality as an Infrared Air Max 90 retro.  But these joints’ relative obscurity might earn you an extra bit of respect from the increasingly well educated sneakerhead community, and you can click on the jump below to decide if they’re the shoe for you.  SnkrFrkr reports Euro retailers started selling these today so stick with Sneaker News for updates.
