The GEL-LYTE ™ III’s dynamic fit and identifiable split-tongue shape have cemented the style as an OG staple for ASICS. Originally designed by Shigeyuki Mitsui in 1990, it has re-emerged in many iterations, this time around resurfacing in the brand new Wisteria silhouette. The shoe’s key components — trademarked GEL® technology along with other comfort features — remain, while introducing a new emphasis on a sound, healthy mind and body.

The new Wisteria style shows off a purple and white midsole with a light purple and dark purple upper. A royal purple outsole finishes off the design, taking inspiration from the vibrant Wisteria flower. Multitextured and breathable materials make up the design, so the sneakers can support the wearer conveniently wherever they may go.

As the Wisteria flower can live up to 100 years, or even longer, the resilient plant symbolizes immortality and wisdom. This new version of the beloved GEL-LYTE III™ serves as a reminder that self-reflection is imperative in adequately navigating the tumultuous journey of life and obtaining inner peace.

The ASICS GEL-LYTE III™ Wisteria sneaker can be purchased for $130 USD on asics.com.
