Ronnie Fieg can easily be credited as one of the architects of Asics’ rise in recent years. This week, the Kith founder has shared an early look at an upcoming pair of the GEL-Lyte III, heralding its return in a white & blue colorway after several years on ice.

The ASICS Gel‑Lyte III’s original four OG colorways were officially retired a few years ago, following their 30th anniversary. This shelving was done both as a tribute to its legendary designer, Shigeyuki Mitsui, who was also preparing to retire, and to preserve the OG versions as collector’s pieces. Though the silhouette itself lives on with new colorways and releases, those classic OG colorways are no longer in regular production. Thankfully, Asics works with a wide stable of collaborators, like Ronnie Fieg, to issue new limited-edition pairs, guaranteed to become future classics.

This week, Ronnie Fieg briefly shared an early look at a new GEL-Lyte III release, before deleting the Instagram post. Kith has issued plenty of styles of the GLIII over the years, but the model has taken a backseat since their X-Men collection in 2023, only releasing two extremely limited-edition styles in the last two years. Now, the silhouette appears poised for return, thawed from its on-ice status in a stunning white & blue color scheme. The pair features a quilted toe box in white leather, Asics stripe branding in cream, and a mix of nubuck and suede in shades of light blue for the rest of the model’s overlays.

KITH X ASICS GEL-LYTE III WHITE/BLUE RELEASE INFORMATION

Kith and Asics have not announced any release plans for this special new pair of the GEL-Lyte III, though we hope to see a release before the end of 2025. The shoe has been on ice for the last few years, which is represented perfectly through this clean white and light blue color scheme. Pairs will likely be available exclusively through Kith.
