ASICS Gel-Lyte III Ronnie Fieg Tokyo Trio 252.1

Ronnie Fieg returned to his roots to celebrate the recent opening of KITH Tokyo with the release of the ASICS Gel Lyte III Tokyo Trio 252.1. As part of the Tokyo Trio pack, this Gel Lyte III pays homage to a Japan-exclusive GEL-Lyte III colorway that Fieg wanted to bring to the US in 2007. While the updated iteration retains most of the original color palette, it adds a few design changes that provide a new luxe feeling. Multi-colored suede covers a majority of the silhouette atop a two-tone sole. The ASICS Gel Lyte III 252.1 released in July of 2020 and retailed for $180 USD. Launching as part of the ‘Tokyo Trio Pack,’ the Kith x ASICS Gel Lyte 3 OG ‘252.1’ draws inspiration from Ronnie Fieg’s first-ever ASICS collaboration, the ‘252 Pack’ from 2007. Specifically, the new design is a reworking of a Japan-exclusive Gel Lyte 3 colorway, featuring a black nubuck upper accented with metallic gold side stripes and contrasting pops of pink and salmon on the sneaker’s suede toe.
