For the summertimes, Asics came out with three new colorways for the Asics Gel Lyte III. One comes in light blue and yellow, very reminiscent of Golden State Nuggets team colors, while the other comes in an offbeat purple/green combo. The third one is more basic with red and black accents on a white shoe. All three will be released very soon at select boutiques and footlocker stores.

mita is the latest to take the plunge and collaborate with Asics on their retro flagship model, the Gel Lyte III. The Gel Lyte III has come under intense colalbo scrutiny in recent memory as some of the world's most prominent sneaker entities have offered their insights in a strong series of releases. Seen here are two releases as part of the Kirimomi Project which are each based off their own respective Japanese philosophies. Available now at mita sneakers.

Arguably one of the strongest retro running line ups of any big athletic company, Asics' back catalog of sleek running styles have become a designers paradise for interesting colors. Many of the colorways seen embody a distinct relationship with 80s flash and the subtly commanded by most sneaker fans in the last little while. Three different models, new for June include the Gel Lyte III, GT Quick and GT II. Source: Endorsed

The New York based sneaker boutique, The Rivington Club, is set to release a new sneaker with Asics. Utilizing the Asics Gel Lyte III model, Rivington Club has come up with two colorways each featuring a woven label on the heel counter as well as a A.R.C. branded foot bed art.

With a strong foundation in Japan due to the roots laid close to 60 years ago, Asics has all but maintained a strong presence in its country of birth. Here's a look into their latest collection of footwear including the classic Pro Court models in its variants and the Top Seven. Seen within the collection are Nextide releases, something that was originally conceived to offer an alternative method of enclosure for sneakers and provide an easier way of life to those unable to deal with conventional forms of enclosure like laces. Available now at Flauge.

With impending troubles on the horizon between Solebox and Nike Germany, Solebox has returned to one of its greatest skills as collaborator extraordinaire. It seems more often then not every sneaker to come under their influence of the German sneaker shop has yielded smart and cohesive colorways, albeit with a strong affection to purple. Their latest collaboration with Asics on the Gel Lyte III features a purple/gray suede sneaker. However beyond a nice colorway is a color sensitive upper/midsole that turns purple in the sun. Two different styles were created, a special Solebox exclusive with the stores name featured on the heel and sole that will only be available through the Berlin retailer as well as a version devoid of Solebox symbolism that will be available at Asics' finest dealers around the world. No word yet on a release date however by all accounts it should be arriving soon. Check Solebox for more details.

Our sentiments over here have been surprisingly good for the majority of releases coming out of Asics. Their archival footwear models like the Gel Lyte II and GT-II both share stream-line silhouettes from an era of rather chunky footwear. Despite being pretty much the precursor to Nike's success over 30 years ago, Asics are doing well in their own regard thanks largely in part to great colorways. These are available now at Solebox who have also just debuted their very own micro-chip black VIP card which will be available soon.

Since the return of the Asics Gel Lyte III, the misses have been few and far between. The difficult task of choosing only the best colorways seems to have boded well as we've seen solid colorway, one after another. This latest future release includes the unconventional use of mud, pink and purple. Check your local Asics dealer in the coming weeks and months for this solid release. Source: Sneaker Freaker
