The Asics Gel Lyte III's 25th anniversary celebration still has a couple months left, so readers should expect more collaborations marking the big birthday before the year's end.

This pair comes from Limited EDT, a sneaker shop that decided to honor its native Singapore with this floral release. The sneaker has one of the bolder prints that's ever hit this silhouette, with a flower print featuring Miss Joaquim, the orchid that is Singapore's national flower.

The anniversary celebration here extends beyond just the shoe – Singapore became independent from Malaysia in 1965, and Limited EDT mentions the 50 year anniversary in its release for the project.

Limited EDT will release this sneaker on Oct. 23 via a special box set with a commemorative tie, a water repellant to protect the shoes, and an extra set of floral laces. Find info on the Singapore release here and stay with Sole Collector for word on a U.S. sneaker release date.
