Remember when German sneaker boutique Solebox showed off this Asics Gel Lyte III in 2012 only to never actually release the shoe? Years after the fact, the sneaker is launching.

The store just revealed the official images and the theme on the "Blue Carpenter Bee" pair. This design is slightly different from the 2012 sample, but keeps the blue/black colorblocking and the same set of materials. The shoe is inspired by xylocopa bombylans, a species of bee found in Australia.

This sneaker will release at Solebox locations on Saturday, April 30, in-store and online at a random time here. There is no info yet on a global release.
