Although these are “old news” for now we needed to bring to attention what exactly is so special about these. Aside from the fact they just look good, no one has noticed that Asics actually went back to the OG design. Back in 2008 when they retro’d the original white purple and orange Gel lyte’s they made some design changes such as substituting the original material on the sides of the shoe for leather. Not this time, and it worked beautifully. Brands should stick with what works. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. Good job Asics 🙂
