ASICS had a big year in 2019, from the relaunch of their smash hit Gel Kayano 5 to exciting projects with brands like Awake NYC, they’ve been all over the map. This week, the Japanese brand revived a cult classic to continue the streak.
ASICS’ Gel-Lyte series has dominated their status in the sneaker world for years now, thanks to the silhouette’s unique design choices and classic looks. However, the brand has filled in the gaps between those models quite efficiently, though they never get quite as much light as the more popular ones. However, this week ASICS quietly released a vintage sneaker from the same era, the Lyte. Basic in nature, the Lyte mixes soft textiles with suede overlays for a sleek look. The latest colorway, referred to as “Classic Retro Tokyo”, keeps things simple as well with a predominantly tan upper with the ASICS logo in orange, and additional blue accents.
ASICS LYTE “CLASSIC RETRO TOKYO” RELEASE INFORMATION
ASICS latest vintage release, the Lyte in the “Classic Retro Tokyo” colorway, launched earlier this week from retailers like New Orleans’ Sneaker Politics. The ASICS Lyte is currently going for a smooth retail price of just $90, with more colorways likely on the way soon. Check out Politics’ product images below for a better look, and stay tuned to JustFreshKicks for more ASICS release news.
