Time and time Asics has proven to us that they’re a brand we shouldn’t be sleeping on. They have maintained a balance between classic runners with modern, premium upgrades. One of the sneaker community’s cult favorites is the Gel-Lyte III and their latest release is paying homage to Japanese tradition. 2 is always better than 1, isn’t it? 

The Asics ‘Kadomatsu Pack’ features 2 Gel-Lyte III options that are inspired by kadomatsu which are pine and bamboo arrangements that are normally placed in pairs in front of the home on either side of the door or gate during Japanese New Year. Coming in both a ‘Misty Pine/Seafoam’ and ‘Wood Crepe/Plum Blossom’ colorway, both options feature an all over soft suede upper. Additional details such as the split tongue and off-white midsole keep this duo true to the original Gel-Lyte III construction. Take a look at the snaps below for a closer look.

WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THE ASICS ‘KADOMATSU PACK’?

We love a soft suede footwear option and this pack fits the bill. The Asics ‘Kadomatsu Pack’ is now available via a few Euro retailers such as Overkill. You can cop your pair via our SHOP THE SNEAKS button below for a price tag of €130.00 or about $158 USD (Note: additional duties, taxes, and shipping may apply). Happy shopping!
