Stark Metallic Contrasting Sneakers

ASICS Medal Pack Gets a New Set of Captivating Colorways

ASICS brings an exciting tonal touch to the summer season with its new additions to the Medal Pack. The brand launches metallic colorway options to the GEL-LYTE III OG sneaker model. The striking palette option is either silver and gold, which are also added as a celebration of the Tokyo Olympics coming up.

The signature sneaker model arrived last year to celebrate the brand's 30th anniversary and this time around, it boasts a unique finish. It has a reinforced matte coat for a textured feel. It also adds mesh materials to create a smooth and glossy effect that allows the metallic colorway to really stand out. The shoes are marked with black details for a stark contrasting look.
