Originally launched in 1990, the Gel-Lyte 3 was specifically crafted with a split tongue to help prevent slipping during extensive running sessions. In 2011, ASICS joined forces with Bait, a prominent Californian retailer, to introduce the exquisite 'Teal Dragon' iteration of this renowned sneaker. To commemorate the store's second anniversary, the collaborative effort led to the re-release of this model in 2014. The sneaker exhibits a stunning turquoise upper constructed with a combination of high-quality suede, smooth nubuck, and perforated nubuck materials, which seamlessly blend with the contrasting white Tiger stripes and captivating red accents. Furthermore, enhancing both style and functionality, the shoe incorporates 3M reflective elements on the toe area and Gel cushioning within the midsole for unmatched comfort.
