The Asics Gel Lyte MT showcases its unconventional performance running design that takes inspiration from mountaineering by incorporating features from three iconic models. This 'Carbon' version features a revamped suede upper, along with a Mono-Sock mesh bootie and split tongue. The trail-style lacing and waterproof collar give the shoe a weatherized appearance, while the branded contrast panel and TPU clip enhance the heel's durability. Completing the shoe's construction are the molded EVA midsole and rugged outsole tread, providing a sturdy grip.
