Footwear label ASICS prepares for the cold winter with the latest iteration of the signature GEL-Lyte MT sneaker model. The new version is complete in cozy design elements that feature hairy suede materials and soft sherpa fleece fabrics. The sneakers are complete in colors such as brown and beige in a means to correlate to the fall season with neutral hues. The warm design boasts a mid-top cut and it rests on a treaded sole unit.
The silhouette is constructed from neoprene materials and the uppers feature multiple fabrics including several different leather and suedes. It is enclosed with a zipper over the front and the sherpa fleece lines the interior for ultrawarm elements.
