Kith x Gel Lyte 5 ‘Leatherback’

Description

Celebrating the New York retailer’s 10th anniversary, the Kith x ASICS Gel Lyte 5 ‘Leatherback’ was made available to participants of an exclusive Zoom panel that Ronnie Fieg hosted in November 2021, before the shoe’s official Black Friday release. The original Gel Lyte 3 ‘Leatherback’ from 2011 is transformed into a Gel Lyte 5, featuring a black leather upper with a grey suede forefoot and tonal leather side stripes outlined in blue. The vibrant hue is repeated on the sneaker’s durable rubber outsole. Unique branding elements include a KXTH logo embossed on the heel overlay and mismatched ‘ASICS’ and ‘Fieg’ wordmarks embroidered on each tongue.
