Release Date: Packer Shoes x Asics Gel Lyte V

Packer Shoes debuts its Asics Gel Lyte V collaboration that's coming out this Saturday.

by Brendan Dunne

The Packer Shoes x Asics Gel Lyte V will release on Saturday, Jan. 10 both in-store and online at 12 noon EST.

The model ups the ante on the Asics Gel Lyte V in terms of materials by bringing in Gore-Tex for waterproofing and a top notch pigskin nubuck. The colorway, as well as the rugged material selection, has a bit of an ACG-feel to it what with the hot pink pop sections introduced via the sockliner. Refusing to skimp on the extra, it appears that Packer Shoes has also tossed in a couple of additional pairs of laces to make the $170 price all the more worth it. There is no info yet on a wider release date for this Packer Shoes x Asics project.
