ASICS' GEL-PTG MT Sneaker Gets a Weatherized Makeover

ASICS launches the latest iteration of the signature GEL-PTG MT sneaker model as the Japanese brand spotlights a weatherized update. The silhouette is offered in the colorway options of either black or white for a minimal finish. The top of the sneakers feature the brand's logo over the cushioned tongue.

Additionally, the sneakers also have a lace guard for protective purposes on top of the forefoot along with a metallic zipper in contrast to the rest of the tonal design. The cover can also be removed for a clean look overall. The uppers are constructed from a textured canvas material and have smooth leather paneling through the heel, sidewalls, toe cap, and eyelets.
