The ASICS Gel Lyte III Gets a Premium Spin

The ASICS GEL LYTE III PREMIUM goes back to basics with a high-end edition to its early ’90s silhouette.

Designed by Shingeyuki Mitsui, the Gel Lyte III was a groundbreaking release when it first hit the shelves back at the turn of the ‘90s and is easily distinguished by its split tongue detailing, which stops the age-old problem of the tongue slipping down the side of the shoe.

A go-to model for retro reiterations, we’ve seen a few bright and breezy colourways hit the shelves this year, including the sweet Bleached Apricot and temperature raising Tandoori Spice editions. Prepping for summer, ASICS deliver a premium touch to the timeless silhouette, giving it a simple but premium makeover.

Dropping just before May Bank Holiday rears its chaotic head, the Gel Lyte III Premium pairs textured matte black leather upper with a matching midsole and tonal laces, adding the perfect injection of pop with gold branding accents and a visible red interior. A playful element is incorporated by adding a glow-in-the-dark outsole, housing the shoe’s visible Gel unit to the heel.

So, if you’re currently seeking hardy footwear option to carry you into deep summer, then look no further.
