Afew, BEAMS and ASICS Unite for GEL-Lyte III
Hot on the heels of the mother of all colab restocks, Afew are back with their latest ASICS collaboration: an 'Orange Koi' edition of the GEL-Lyte III.
The project follows 2012's original 'Koi Klub' colab, which finally saw an official release in 2015 alongside a 'Black Koi' version of the design. This time around, ASICS and Afew have brought Japan's BEAMS into the fold while updating the orange version of the drop with new co-branding cues, a marbled outsole, and the requisite koi graphics within the translucent portion of the heel's rubber. The kicks are even slated to be joined by a full range of BEAMS-designed apparel with an orange koi figuring prominently throughout.
The 'Orange Koi' GEL-Lyte III drops November 10.
