A truly iconic running silhouette, the Asics Gel Lyte III was first released in 1989, featuring numerous innovative features including the famous split tongue - a novel invention that eliminated the problem of having the tongue slip down the side of the shoe. Working alongside esteemed California retailer BAIT, this 'Guardian' iteration of the popular runner features a Gel cushioned sole, 3M patches and padded tongue and collar. Known as an ideal long-distance running shoe, the Gel Lyte III is finished with nailhead suede uppers, camo underlays and speckled midsole detail.
