The ASICS GEL-Lyte III "Mustard Seed" is Available Now

Since its debut in 1991, the ASICS GEL-Lyte III has earned a dedicated following, largely owing to its unique split-tongue design, comfort features, and vibrant colorways. Recently, its popularity has soared thanks to high-profile collaborations, particularly with Ronnie Feig of Kith. Yet even as partnerships bring fresh twists to this long-standing design, the GEL-Lyte III continues to shine in its general releases. The latest “Mustard Seed” edition proves this silhouette doesn't need a unique partnership to turn heads, especially as we move into autumn.

Constructed entirely in leather—a departure from the original's mixed-material approach—the latest GEL-Lyte III embraces a sophisticated edge. The chosen color palette seems to echo the fall season, with mustard seed yellow, creamy tones, and black accents blending in a harmonious mix that screams versatility. These earthy tones also lend the shoe a mature air, making it easily adaptable for casual outings and more dressed-up occasions.

Beyond aesthetics, the nuanced details make this release stand out. The midsole cushioning has been designed to give off an “aged” and “worn” look, a stylistic choice we often see in high-end footwear. This design detail not only adds character to the shoe but also brings a vintage flair that resonates well with the current fashion trends.

Capping off the design is the outsole, which sports a semi-translucent gum finish. This subtle yet impactful choice complements the shoe's overall color scheme, tying all the visual elements together in a neat package.

While official launch details on ASICS.com are yet to be confirmed, the shoe is already available at international retailers like Up There Store.
