2016 has been all about colabs and special releases and Asics had their fair share of true bangers, whether it was with New York’s Ronnie Fieg, SG-based SBTG, or their Japanese partner networks, BEAMS, Mita, and United Arrows just to name a few. As we are in the season of merry making all the way to the New Year, it’s pretty apt for Asics to release another pair for those nights you need to dress up but still be light and comfortable.
Working with another Japanese retail destination Monkey Time, they bring out a classy, dressed-up version of the Gel-Lyte V. Using shiny black leather and high quality nubuck throughout, the Gel-Lyte V breaks the norm to look more than just a running shoe. Marble accents are seen on the heel section of the midsole for that added detail. The Monkey Time x Asics Gel-Lyte V drops today exclusively at Commonwealth.
