While fans may be familiar with the likes of the GEL-Lyte III, V, GEL-Sight, and GEL-Saga, few know of — much less, seen — the original GEL-Lyte. Released back in 1987, the kicks were a sleek GEL-cushioned precursor to the GEL-Lytes we know and love today. So, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original, ASICS has brought back the silhouette in one of its OG colorways.
