Quick Take:
ASICS and Sneaker Freaker have a collaborative partnership that reaches all the way back to 2010, and now they’ve joined forces yet again for a new GEL-Lyte III titled the “Tiger Snake.” Check out images below, and keep it locked here for more info on other summertime ASICS releases as well.
Design:
The Asics Gel-Lyte III “Tiger Snake” begins with a base of light brown cowhide leather, accented by pinkish-orange used on the eyelets, mudguard, and on the medial logoing. The midsole and heel counter are black with a speckling of the same pinkish-orange, which is also repeated on the outsole for a finishing touch. The GEL-Lyte III logoing is done in gold that pops off the black heel counter.
The shoe comes with a custom box, pictured below, which features an illustrated graphic printed with fluoro ink infused with real tiger snake venom.
Analysis:
Inspired by the tiger snakes native to Sneaker Freaker’s home in Australia and ASICS’ origins as the Onitsuka Tiger company, the shoes offer a look that’s part highly venomous reptile, part majestic apex predator, and entirely unique
Release Info:
The “Tiger Snake” will be available exclusively from the Sneaker Freaker shop, and interested parties will need to register their email address to receive a purchase link when pairs are made available.
