Introducing the ASICS Gel-lyte V

Following the huge success of the Gel-Lyte III, Asics needed something major to follow it up, and in 1993, they released the Gel-Lyte V. The ASICS GEL-Lyte V is a classic lifestyle shoe with a long history in performance running.

The GEL-Lyte V features a split-tongue design and a distinct layered upper, originally constructed with premium materials like leather and suede. This combination provides a comfortable fit and a visually striking look.

The shoe boasts ASICS' signature GEL technology in the heel for shock absorption, promoting comfort and support during wear.

Interestingly, the ASICS GEL-Lyte V was not the most popular model in the GEL-Lyte series, with the GEL-Lyte III gaining wider recognition.

However, the GEL-Lyte V found a dedicated following for its unique design and comfortable construction, solidifying its place as a sought-after lifestyle sneaker.
