Alife has also created a series of matching t-shirts to correspond with the upcoming release of the Alife x Asics Gel Lyte III sneakers. These t-shirts include the Alife logo in a reptilian print with the same eyeballs as seen on the Asics. Both sneakers and t-shirts will release on Saturday, October 27th at Alife’s three locations, Vancouver, Los Angeles and New York. Some pairs will also be available online at Alife, however no tees will go on sale online. The sneakers and tees are priced at $200 USD and $40 USD respectively.
Rising from relative obscurity, the retro of the Asics Gel Lyte III has exploded in recent memory with the last few releases. The likes of Patta, David Z. and most recently Alife have all created some memorable colorways of this Asics classic. This upcoming release includes some fresh multi-colored joints. Only 500 pairs have been allocated to Europe. Available now via Sold Out.
Although the runner shoe silhouette of the Alife x New Balance 576 didn’t pan out, this unworldly concept with Asics did materialize with the use of the Gel Lyte III running shoe. This creation derives its inspiration from a Godzilla/reptile theme which is definitely one of the more literal sneakerfications of any creature themed sneaker we’ve ever seen. The toe box features a scaly print while the midsole is designed to represent the teeth. The hanging eye accessories seals the deal. Look for these to release on Monday, October 15th exclusively at Alife locations. Price is set at $200 USD.
