Kiko Kostainov’s lineup of signature Asics sneakers just keeps growing. This week, the Bulgarian designer takes on the beloved GEL-Lyte III, flipping the vintage runner into a modern-day lifestyle silhouette, known as the GEL-GlideLyte III.

The seemingly endless collaboration between Bulgarian designer Kiko Kostadinov and Asics continues this month, with the Kiko team taking on the famous Gel-Lyte III for the latest dive into the Japanese running brand’s archives. Titled the GEL-GlideLyte III, this new signature silhouette was directly inspired by one of the team’s trips to the Asics brand archives in Kobe, Japan. The silhouette is a mashup of the GLIII’s upper, reworked in mesh and knit textiles, and joined with a highly cushioned midsole from the GlideRide, an advanced modern running shoe. Other details from Asics footwear include PU sections around each heel and mesh overlays borrowed from the Asics Hockey Typhoon.
