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. First up we have the GEL-Lyte V, in a Dark Green/Duffle Bag colourway.
The majority of the upper of the shoe comes in a green suede, with different shades used for the forefoot and midfoot areas to create a slightly more eye-catching colourway. The neoprene tongue and sockliner area comes in a shade a more olive shade of green to match the upper nicely, as do the laces, and the tiger stripes on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe come in green leather to stand out nicely. The inner portion of the sockliner comes in red with a Christmas sweater-style pattern all over it, hence the title of the shoe, and ASICS branding on the tongue comes in red to spice up the colourway that bit more. All of that sits atop a crisp white midsole and outsole, evocative of the snow that we hope will fall in time for the 25th!
The shoe is by far and away one of the most comfortable sneakers around at the moment. ASICS' patented GEL technology features all through the midsole, providing unreal cushioning and protection against harsh impacts. The sockliner has been designed in such a way that provides a sock-like secure fit, and the descending shape of the sole lets you roll off your toes with each step.
We also have other ASICS styles, including the GEL-Lyte III, GEL-Lyte Runner, GEL Kayano and GEL Saga.
