Although ASICS has enjoyed a successful year thanks to other GEL-cushioned silhouettes, its bread-and-butter continues to be the GEL-Lyte III from 1991. Recently, the split-tongued design emerged in a “Recycled Felt” ensemble, which delivers one of the wildest makeovers to ever grace to sneaker.
Clad in an “Oyster Grey,” “Diva Pink,” and shades of blue, the newly-surfaced proposition features a translucent outer layer that ostensibly contains and showcases a recycled build underneath. As the pair’s moniker suggests, the principal material used throughout the upper is a recycled felt, which is contrasted by branding logos and other accents in a different construction and animated hues. The “do-it-yourself” reminiscent take also includes contrasting stitching and seemingly random graphics, further contributing to the recycled concept of the shoe.
