In commemoration of the Kith retailer's decade-long presence in New York, the highly sought-after Kith x ASICS Gel Lyte 5 'Leatherback' sneaker was exclusively offered to attendees of a special Zoom panel hosted by Ronnie Fieg in November 2021, preceding its official release on Black Friday. A modern iteration of the original Gel Lyte 3 'Leatherback' model from 2011, this collaboration features a sleek black leather upper complemented by a grey suede forefoot and monochromatic leather side stripes accentuated with blue outlines. The vibrant blue hue is also showcased on the sneaker's durable rubber outsole, adding an eye-catching touch. Notably, the KXTH logo is delicately embossed on the heel overlay, and each tongue boasts mismatched embroidery displaying the 'ASICS' and 'Fieg' wordmarks.
