Asics has spent plenty of time as of late outfitting its retro silhouettes with GORE-TEX materials so that they can better withstand the weather.

This time around the brand is weatherproofing a retro model without the help of that buffer though. The Asics Gel Saga is shown here with an "All Weather" build, complete with images of the sneakers repelling water in case anyone needed evidence. The timing might not be the best with summer right around the corner, but the shoes should still get some play for those in rainy areas.

This Asics Gel Saga style is available now at select Asics Tiger accounts, including Extra Butter.
