ASICS GEL-LYTE SPEED (TRIPLE PACK)
Ladies and gentlemen... we proudly introduce to you the GEL-LYTE SPEED! The successor to the GEL-LYTE III, the Speed was the next chapter in the growing catalogue of GEL success stories. The shoe was developed in 1989 and was introduced into the US and Europe in 1991 in response to the growing need for a new type of running shoe. The running population there was not only becoming larger but also more diverse. It became apparent that more experienced runners required a lighter shoe than the flagship GEL-LYTE III model. To reduce weight, ASICS decided to strip down the shoe, removing certain technologies while other, more crucial features were retained such as the split tongue and of course, the unique cushioning system known as GEL. The split design prevented the tongue from moving too far inside the shoe and offered the runner a better fit, positioning and comfort.
