In February 2016, Reigning Champ, a Canadian sportswear brand, collaborated with ASICS to release a stylish all-black version of the Gel-Lyte 3 sneaker. This special edition was accompanied by tonal navy and grey options. The design of the retro runner showcases a combination of materials, featuring a luxurious suede toe, terry cloth incorporated into the quarter panel underlay and collar. The eye-catching elements include a speckled midsole and a contrasting tan rubber outsole.
