ASICS always produce something special around this time of year, with two models selected to grace gorgeous Chirstmas-inspired colourways. The same has of course continued for 2016, and this time around we see two of the best ASICS shoes from this season. Secondly we have the GEL-Lyte III, in a two-tone Blue Mirage colourway.
The upper of the shoe comes predominantly in a blue suede, lighter in colour around the toebox and midfoot and darker in colour around the heel and tongue. The laces and woven split-tongue contribute to the colourway too, coming in a darker blue colour, as do the tiger stripes on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, made of a dark blue leather. As we saw with the GEL-Lyte V, ASICS and GEL/GEL-LYTE III branding across the shoe all comes in red, perfectly matching the red lining which features a Christmas sweater-style pattern all over it. The midsole and outsole comes in solid white, providing a snow-like base that really sets off the upper nicely.
ASICS' famed GEL technology runs through the whole of the midsole, providing incredible impact cushioning and improving comfort signficantly overall. The sole has been designed in a descending way to let you roll of the board of your foot, offering a much better walking or running experience, and the split-tongue design removes the possibility of the tongue sliding to the left or right, which is always annoying!
We also have other ASICS styles, including the GEL-Lyte Runner, GEL-Lyte V, GEL Kayano and GEL Saga.
