ASICS Gel-Lyte III Ronnie Fieg ECP New York City

Also known as the "Knicks" GL3, the Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel-Lyte III "New York City" was released in early May, 2013 for a retail price of $145. Part of his first pop-up shop experience, RF donned the New York City GLIII in Knicks colors to reflect not only his passion for New York but also his passion for one of his favorite teams. By choosing a perforated pigskin suede toe box and nubuck overlays, Fieg created a GEL Lyte II that could be worn both during the harsh winter months of the Knicks season but also through the spring and summer while the basketball season winds-down. Inspired by his home-city, the Knicks GEL Lyte 3 have since grown in popularity, especially amongst those in the New York area who wear the shoes as not only a status of sneaker enthusiasm, sports-interest, and fashion, but also a badge of respect to their hometown. Released alongside the "Miami Beach" GEL-Lyte III as part of the East Coast Project, the Knicks GL3 was also dropped alongside a slew of apparel and accessories to complete the pop-up experience that embodied how far Ronnie and his team at Kith had come. Today, the Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel-Lyte III "New York City" is a highly admired by many sneaker enthusiasts. If you were able to get an ECP pair at retail, you definitely made others envious.
