In the works since 2012 and then tucked away, Solebox and ASICS are sticking to the plan and finally releasing its “Blue Carpenter Bee” GEL-Lyte III. The eye-catching color scheme gains its inspiration from a species of blue bees that are native to Southeast Asia. Black nubuck material makes up the majority of the sneaker’s upper while its bright-blue coloring can be seen on its split tongue, inner lining and lace tips. Detailed branding can be seen throughout the shoe with alternate Solebox x ASICS branding on each respective heel in addition to bee artwork on its insoles and clear sole section on the heel. Solebox x ASICS’ “Blue Carpenter Bee” collaboration is schedule to drop on April 30 exclusively online.
