Japanese footwear label ASICSTIGER reaches into its archives to revive a signature footwear model -- the 'GEL-Saga' Zebra pack makes a return in a new captivating colorway. The sneaker model is set to launch for the Spring/Summer 2019 season and it showcases details that nod to the label's heritage through the tonal selection as well.
The colorways include white and teal of white and flash coral -- both of which are complete in the brand's zebra print that surfaced in the 90s. The coral iteration features a clean suede foundation in white accented with mesh materials throughout the uppers and decorated with hits of bright blue and coral hues. The teal colorway feature white and teal suede materials with white mesh, coral top=eyelet, dual tonal tongue of white and blue, and teal outersoles.
