Gel-Bottomed Suede Sneakers

These Comfortable Suede ASICS Feature a Subdued Multi-Toned Colorway

The 'ASICS Tiger' was remodeled with a take on the brands 'GEL-Lyte III' and 'GEL-Respector' editions -- making for a suede ASICS sneaker that maintains an elegant style as it provides its wearer with an optimum level of comfort.

Available in the late summer of 2016, the suede ASICS come in two different colorways. The first is mostly covered in burgundy and contrasted with a tan vegetable leather decor that's iconic of the brand. The other is similar, however the burgundy is replaced with a deep charcoal.

Both feature a white sole that's finished with a beige bottom, working to complement the inclusion of the vegetable leather. The suede material is artfully interrupted by a sleek mesh material as well, giving the ASICS Tiger more texture and adding to its multi-dimensional look.
