Introducing the ASICS Gel-Lyte III

Known for its retro aesthetic, comfort, and performance, the ASICS Gel-Lyte III is highly regarded. Gel cushioning and a split tongue design have made the Gel-Lyte III a worldwide favourite among sneaker enthusiasts.

The ASICS Gel -Lyte III was first introduced in 1990 as a lightweight running shoe. It was designed by Shigeyuki Mitsui, an ASICS designer known for his innovative sneaker designs.

In addition to its stylish design, the Gel-Lyte III is fully functional as an athletic shoe as well.

This ASICS Gel-Lyte III stands out with its distinctive design elements that contribute to its iconic look and performance.

The model's split tongue is one of its most recognisable features. The two-part tongue adds a unique visual element, but also reduces tongue movement, making the shoe more comfortable and secure.

In the Gel-Lyte III, ASICS incorporates its Gel cushioning technology into the midsole. During running or everyday wear, gel inserts provide excellent shock absorption, cushioning, and support.

The Gel Lyte III uppers often feature suede overlays and breathable mesh. Providing durability, flexibility, and improved airflow, this blend enhances overall comfort.

Inscriptions of ASICS' Tiger Stripes are prominently featured on the sides of the sneaker. Additionally, these stripes provide structure and stability to the shoe by acting as supportive overlays.

Finally, there is an external heel counter that adds support and stability.
