Headlined by its distinctive, innovative split tongue, the GEL-Lyte III was a landmark design that ushered in a new era for ASICS performance running footwear. The GEL-Lyte III wasn’t just an instant hit with consumers at the time; it has remained an all-time classic with long time fans and newly minted admirers alike.

With this year marking the 30^th anniversary of the GEL Lyte-III, ASICS and British retailer End have opted to go a very traditional route, with the GEL-Lyte III ‘Pearl.’ The traditional gift on the occasion of a 30^th anniversary, Pearl represents a form of beauty that is rare and difficult to obtain, given the slow process by which natural pearls are formed.

ASICS and End capture the essence of pearl, down to the last detail, while remaining true to the heritage of this classic runner. The pearl’s iridescent surface is reflected in a colorway that blends lavender grey, purple, pink, and ivory, for a delicate interaction between the brighter hues and the neutral base. A plush suede upper and tumbled leather tongue and collar offer a premium construction befitting the  precious nature of pearl. A mother-of-pearl graphic sockliner and co-branding details put the finishing touches on this special, anniversary edition.
