ASICS Gel Respector (White Mamba)

UPDATE: If you missed out at your local over the weekend Sneaker Politics still got pairs on hand – get at them!

We were over the moon when we first heard that the Gel Respector was being revived by ASICS under the new ASICS Tiger banner, the under appreciated follow up to GLIII is finally getting the fanfare it deserves! Just look at that heel counter, can you believe something that fresh has been dormant for this long? Channeling vibes from the Gel Lyte III Croc Pack and similar to a previous Respector retro, this latest 'White Mamba' model sports an all white construction, while the upper is stitched with great looking snakeskin embossed leather. We've only seen a small number of colourways so far since it's come out of retirement, but all signs are pointing to a promising run for the vintage trainer. Available now at Feature.
