In 2016, a collaboration between Japanese brands Mita sneakers, Beams, and ASICS resulted in the creation of the Gel Lyte 3 ‘Souvenir Jacket.’ This unique sneaker draws inspiration from traditional Japanese souvenir satin jackets. Boasting a timeless split-tongued design, the shoe showcases a sleek combination of black suede and quilted textile materials, accentuated by suede Tiger stripes. Adding a touch of flair, the outsole proudly displays a vibrant green camo pattern. On the tongue, you'll spot the distinctive Beams branding, while the lateral heel proudly showcases the word ‘Japan.’ With this collaboration, these renowned Japanese brands successfully merge fashion and cultural elements into a standout sneaker design.
