In a thrilling update for sneaker enthusiasts and fashion aficionados alike, Kith's founder, Ronnie Fieg, took to social media to unveil a sneak peek of their latest work with long-term collaborator ASICS. This new venture brings to life a special edition of the ASICS Gel-Lyte 3, drawing design inspiration from the vibrant culture and flag of South Korea.
According to Complex, the teased imagery showcases a sneaker that predates luxury and style. It features a high-grade grey suede base complemented by a dynamic mix of red, blue, and black hues on its hairy suede mudguard.
Kith's Growing Global Footprint
This collaboration holds particular significance as it precedes the opening of Kith's much-anticipated flagship store in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, slated for May. This move not only expands Kith's physical presence to the bustling heart of South Korea but also marks its second foray into the Asian market and its fifth international outpost.
The Seoul store's opening and the special edition Kith x ASICS Gel Lyte III symbolize Kith's ongoing commitment to engaging with diverse cultures and reflecting this in their product lines.
Sneaker Design That Captures Attention
The Kith Seoul ASICS Gel Lyte III isn't just another addition to the sneaker market; it's a testament to sophisticated craftsmanship and design thoughtfulness. The model boasts a luxurious mix of extra-hairy suede and smooth nubuck, set off with a distinctive quilted stitch in a neutral bone grey.
The design intricacies continue with the ASICS logo in cool grey, contrasting beautifully against the shoe's overall palette. A pale blue interior lining nods subtly to the South Korean flag, encapsulating the essence of the collaboration's inspiration.
Anticipation Builds for the Official Launch
Sneaker Bar Detroit noted that while the official release date for the Kith Seoul ASICS Gel Lyte III remains under wraps, the anticipation within the sneaker community is palpable. Kith's elaborate rollout, from teasing the collaboration on social media to strategically aligning it with their Seoul store opening, showcases their savvy in building hype and maintaining a spot at the forefront of the global fashion scene.
With flagship stores in iconic cities worldwide, Kith's expansion into Seoul broadens its geographic reach and further cements its reputation for blending innovative design with cultural homage.
