It’s wild to think that Ronnie Fieg and Kith have done over 100 ASICS sneaker collaborations. Spread throughout those projects are countless other shoe collabs, the growth of the Kith flagship network, doing runway shows in the streets of NYC, and the opening of the somewhat controversial Kith Ivy.
Dropping a first-look teaser on his Instagram, Ronnie is going back full circle to the silhouette that helped him become a household name in sneaker history–the ASICS GEL-Lyte III.
Without question, there is some backstory tied to the design. From our observation, we see a pristine color-blocking that consists of a multitude of blue shades (almost reminiscent of the Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue”), premium white leather upper overlays, and an ornate pattern stitched beneath.
The reworked FIEG logo done in ASICS style type is embroidered onto the outer half of the GEL-Lyte III’s iconic split tonuge, while lace options reveal basic flat laces and a more fitting secondary set in a matching blue in the roped trail-like styling.
Ann official announcement is likely coming soon, so stay tuned for more updates.
