The tiger stripe brand, with a logo that references the waves off the coasts of Kobe, was started in post war Japan as a way to promote an active lifestyle amongst kids. Starting things off with a bball sneaker of all things in 1950, killer trivia question, ASICS would go on to transform the sport of running several times over while building a loyal lifestyle following thanks to cross-over favorites like the GEL-LYTE III.

The GEL-LYTE™ III OG sneaker emerges once again with its original shape and tooling that it featured in the early 1990s. Designed by Shigeyuki Mitsui in 1990, the GEL-LYTE™ III silhouette retains its iconic split-tongue formation. It was a feature that initially debuted on the GEL-LD RACER™ shoe.
