Asics Made for the Great Outdoors

Two tonal versions of the Asics Gel Lyte V just dropped.

by Brendan Dunne

The Asics Gel Lyte V has already been done up in endless themed releases thanks to the high number of collaborations for the shoe.

This time that themed approach will extend into the inline realm with the 'Outdoor Pack' that was previewed in October of last year. The wait for the shoes is over, as KITH will be releasing its sock today. It makes sense that that shop would get the first crack at the shoes given Ronnie's Asics connection, but the release feels a little funny given that the two shoes could easily be misconstrued as the same sort of tonal takes that Fieg has previously specialized in. No other U.S. retailers have mentioned stocking this Asics release yet.
