GEL-LYTE III – Dedication to the Legendary Asics
ByAaron ShamimJun 10, 2020
Asics, the Japanese brand founded in 1949 name after the Latin phrase anima sana in corpore sano, which means “Healthy soul in a healthy body”, probably the best thing we could ever wish upon during this epidemic season. This 2020 is also the 30th year anniversary of ASICS GEL-LYTE III Since 1970.
ASICS GEL-LYTE III the “OG”
In the entire GEL-LYTE family, it is undoubtedly the most “OG” item of the GEL-LYTE III born in 1990. According to designer Shigeyuki Mitsui’s memories, he hoped to make a pair of new era kicks that could bring the running shoes trend back, but GEL-LYTE III had later become a classic of the ASICS, and even led the retro running shoes culture around 2010 which was beyond his expectations.
As for the successful transformation of GEL-LYTE III from retro running shoes to trendy retro shoes, Mitsui has his own views. In his eyes, this is not only because GEL-LYTE III has always been innovative in color matching and details. It has adopted more and more new design over time.
