ASICS x ABOVE THE CLOUDS GEL SD LYTE “Black/Gunmetal” Design
The collaboration swaps the GEL SD LYTE’s usual paneled color blocking for a dense woven upper that acts as both structure and surface. ASICS and ABOVE THE CLOUDS point to weaving’s history as a skill passed between makers, giving the shoe a crafted, tactile finish. Color stays nearly tonal across the “Black/Gunmetal” build, with gunmetal tones catching light along the weave and trim. Molded black ASICS stripes sit over the woven base, and a matching black midsole and outsole keep the palette restrained.
How Is the Upper Different From a Standard GEL SD LYTE?
The collaboration swaps the model’s usual paneled color blocking for a dense woven construction that doubles as the shoe’s structure. Molded black ASICS stripes sit over the woven base, with a matching midsole and outsole.
