ASICS continues to rejuvenate previously-released items. Following the monochromatic “Marizipan” makeover of the GEL-Mai, ASICS gives the iconic GEL-Lyte V a premium rework. Eschewing past designs for more luxury materials, ASICS deliver another sneaker for the discerning consumer looking for an everyday, high-end product. Like many modern luxe makeovers, this new GEL-Lyte V features only solid black and white coloring and a tumbled leather make-up.

You can check out the new ASICS Gel-Lyte V above, while the shoe itself can be picked up online for $130 USD. Earlier this week, ASICS put a similar spin on the latest incarnation of the GEL-Mai alongside mita sneakers.
