Asics Gel Lyte Iii Leather Lined Blue 1

ASICS Tiger is following up on its “Made in Japan” Gel-Lyte III edition from 2015 with two new colorways that further the home-grown concept. Utilizing precise and delicate manual work, the Japan-based brand applied hand-dyed ink to the uppers of each design, resulting in two pure tonal colorways. With two options available, the split-tongued runner is dressed in an indigo and a light cyan selection, both made of premium leather and lined with fine materials. Similar to the 2015 release that helped ASICS celebrate its 25th anniversary, these “Made in Japan” variations come with a hefty price tag that works out to approximately $445 USD. While these pairs are scheduled to arrive at atmos this week, they are expected to be very limited.
