From notable collaborations with Ronnie Fieg to several GR drops that followed, the ASICS GEL-Lyte III is no stranger to denim duds. And although the mainstream market may have moved on from jean-clad jawns, ASICS continues to deliver denim for those who follow their own path. Now the brand has a new option — the ASICS GEL-Lyte III OG “Okayama Denim” — and it’s available now.
Here, ASICS treats their thirty-year-old trainer with a tonal blue base, bolstered by dark brown brand panels and rubber soles. The upper, split-tongue, and eyestay overlays all indulge in the titular textile and are met by tumbled leathers in color-matched hue at the forefoot, mudguard, heel, and Tiger Stripes at the midfoot. A tonal sole unit sits beneath, with perfectly matched laces and liners following in hue. The lateral GEL-LYTE III branding, tongue tags, and heel badges are all present in thick-cut brown leathers to match the color laid out on the outsole.
