ASICS introduces its latest iteration of the GEL-Lyte III sneaker model in a Piedmont Gray colorway palette version with the lighter Glacier Gray. The new sneaker features color-blocking details across the silhouette and readies for the colder winter seasons of the year.
The upper is made from suede materials for a soft touch and is done in the Glacier Gray color before it is contrasted with a deeper hue in Piedmont. This section can be found at the overlay detailing and the laces over the forefoot. White can be found at the midsole foundation with the ashy tonal upper to round out the simplistic retro silhouette. It sits on top of the GEL technology for a performance bounce.
