X MITA SNEAKER GEL-LYTE III OG 'BORDEAUX/WINE'

Ahead of the 35th anniversary of the birth of GEL-LYTE lll in 2025, Shigeyuki Kunii, who is the creative director of mita sneakers and is involved in a wide range of sneaker projects from global projects to domestic inline direction, was invited as a design creator for the second special project. GEL-LYTE lll is a lightweight running shoe released in 1990 that represents the ASICS sports style and features a "split tongue" structure that divides the shoe tongue into two large vertical parts to improve the fit. This work, titled "Dried Rose," is a color proposal model that follows the design concept of the GEL-LYTE V, which was released in 2014 as a collaboration with mita sneakers. In addition, the shoe has been specially made with familiar details seen in collaborations with the store, such as a split tongue with a zipper, quilting, TPU mesh, pull tabs, piping, and an inner sole with a graphic that combines the "CHAIN ​​LINK FENCE" and "Tokyo Kai". This shoe is a representation of a short-lived flower, a performance model that is constantly evolving, and is meant to continue to shine forever through the addition of touches. This global limited edition shoe is dyed in different tones of rose red, expressing the beautiful world of dry roses.
