ASICS Tiger continues to flex their respective design muscles with another strong in-house collection centered around the Christmas 2016 season. The annual installment of ASICS retro runners with a festive holiday aesthetic returns for yet another winter, this time with the iconic ASICS Gel Lyte III and ASICS Gel Lyte V handling the X-mas duties.
The ASICS Gel Lyte III Christmas is inspired by the cool winter nights, with a premium build consisting of suede and nubuck throughout the upper. The toe and midfoot section feature a unique shade of ‘Blue Mirage” with a dark obsidian known as ‘Indian Ink’ landing on the iconic split-tongue, side panel form stripes, and heel. A unique Christmas sweater-inspired red hits the lining featuring simple, woven snowflakes throughout.
The ASICS Gel Lyte V Christmas takes a more traditional approach to the Holiday 2016 theme thanks to a monochromatic Dark Green shade dominating the sleek silhouette in a premium lifestyle-grade suede. The same sweater-inspired lining contrasts while a simple white midsole and outsole unit keeps your focus on the tonal qualities found throughout. Which pair is your favorite?
