ASICS Gel-Lyte III Ronnie Fieg Homage

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Asics Gel-Lyte III and the 25 variations of the shoe that Ronnie Fieg has created, Fieg and his Kith team unveiled the "Homage" version of the GL3 at Art Basel in Miami. Showcasing Ronnie Fieg’s Asics designs, a group of 14 hand-selected artists created works of art inspired by some of Fieg’s previous Asics collabs. The Homage Gel Lyte 3 uses colors and materials from 13 of Ronnie Fieg’s previous Gel Lyte III sneaker designs. Buzz around the Homage Asics release came from a handful of extras that came with the shoes: Fieg’s first authored book, enamel pins, mismatched laces, a swatch ring of every material used on the shoes, and 13 individual Stance Socks. Because of all the extras, the Homage Gel Lyte 3 released for the retail price of $325. The hype around the shoe was what you would expect from a Ronnie Fieg x Asics release and it was voted as one of the best sneaker releases of the year by a handful of sneaker blogs. As Ronnie calls it, the Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III "Homage" is like a wearable collage of his previous work with Asics.
