Asics is a runner brand known for their extreme comfort and amazing quality. I’ve been sleeping on the brand for a while, but their recent releases have been catching my eye. Asics’ Gel Lyte was originally released in the late 1980s and 30 years later, it still looks amazing. This silhouette is extremely lightweight and makes for the perfect everyday sneakHER. With all the colorways available, there is definitely a pick for everyone.

The colorway that recently caught our attention here at CNK is the Soft Lavender/Soft Lavender. This sneaker features an all suede upper dressed in the perfect pastel purple. The tonal upper is embellished with the signature Asics tiger stripes on the sides and branding on the heel tab and tongue. The all over purple creates a minimalistic aesthetic that is contrasted by a creamy white midsole. The shoe is finished with a gum sole that elevates these sneakers ever so slightly.

Purple is usually a hard color to pull off, but these seem like they can be rocked with ease. The soft lavender is a pastel dream perfect for summer.
